Vista is very solid choice.

These studies and polls are tiresome. CDW shows a very large adoption of Vista.

But even if you take the kace and gartner polls which come up witha lower uptake, of those that moved the vast majority said they were unsure due to perception, but found it to be the opposite of how it's been blogged, and polled that it's an excellent OS and value. The majority of those adopting also said they'd recommend it to friends and colleagues.

Vista IS the best Windows OS at this time.
Anecdotally, my laptop with Vista Ultimate x64 has been a very solid performer and I would not want to go back to XP now. The UI is so much better and windows explorer has been enhanced so much i couldn't live without the dynamic address "breadcrumb" bar.

The built in search feature is outstanding. I rarely go into programs any longer, just a type a few characters and run my app.

Just to name a very few.

The enhanced stability, from a large reduction of dependencies, is very noticible.

We are now starting to see Unix level stability on a highly functional and usable desktop. High end machines are 800.00 or so already. These are machines that were 1700.00 when Vista launched. RAM is dirt cheap so speed is a non-issue.
