From a usability perspective, I think the resistence to adoption for Vista will be relatively low. The big challange will be getting people to adopt Office 2007... So far I'm pretty happy with it, there are a few quirks and issues, but most of it is related to 3rd party software. I'm sure once the partner eco-system catches up it'll be very good. As for the security end... here is an article that just came out today! http://www.internetnews.com/bus-news/article.php/3667201%20 I have Vista Ultimate installed on my Thinkpad, and actually I have to say it is by far the most painless OS installed from Microsoft EVER… yes, easier than win2k, easier than 98… easier than XP!

So far I’m pretty happy with it, there are a few quirks and issues, but most of it is related to 3rd party software. I’m sure once the partner eco-system catches up it’ll be very good.

As for the security end… here is an article that just came out today!

Anyone who upgrades to it today is crazy in my opinion. The hype on security is unknown to the consumer as they will not get the functions with home versions.
