I've been using Vista off and on since September '08 and the main issues that bugged me (slow transfers, random lockups, software / hardware issues, etc.) seem to have been resolved with Windows 7 (but I wouldn't put it past Microsoft to snatch defeat from the jaws of mediocrity).

A 60-year-old British woman is suffering from a neurological defect that is sure to put her in the next version of "The Man who Mistook His Wife for a Hat." She is unable to recognize any voice she hears — any voice, that is, but Sean Connery's. Unless she sees the face of the person speaking, she has no idea who is talking to her, even her daughter and co-worker's voices are unrecognizable. Dr. Brad Duchaine at University College London, thinks she might have the first documented case of vocal prosopagnosia, a condition which makes it extremely difficult for people to recognize faces.
