As a primarily Windows user since 1999, I just wish they had introduced UAC (or encouraged limited users more) with XP SP2. Vista's biggest complaint may have been resolved by now. I've wanted to run Windows as a Standard User easily since Windows 2000. Quite honestly, it's been nearly impossible until recently. If what Mr. Cross says is true, it has worked (despite the public backlash against Vista).

Vista has had many issues (UAC and Drivers being my biggest complaints), but it has been my primary OS since NVIDIA finally released a stable driver back in December.

It's taken nearly a year since commercial introduction, but it is now a quite stable OS. I haven't seen a system crash since December (previously 90% + due to NVIDIA's drivers), UAC has been virtually non-existent (except for truly system-level changes and BOINC until version 6 is official), and DWM has been truly a blessing since day one (despite the overhead, this was my primary reason fory trying Vista in the first place -- I hardly ever see a stupid wall-of-mirrors or flickering of Windows; and the very few times I do, it's at an app level, not an OS/WM level).
