Vista - some issues but I think I like it

Just started playing around with Vista Home Premium on a cheap notebook I picked up the other day. So far I like it.

It is not very different from XP Pro which I have been using since the beta stage. I do like some of the improvements. Unfortunately they are hard to list since they are very minor. So far all the software that I use daily works as well or better than with XP. Applications using a widescreen monitor are now easier to view than with XP.

I like how MS added partitioning on the fly. No need to reboot with the OS disc to add a partition. Vista allows you to create, delete, shrink or expand the partition sizes even after installation of the OS.

I-tunes still does not work with Vista - as soon as I plug in the pod, itunes crashes. Apple has been working on this problem for a year and still cannot fix it with their latest offering. I gave up and went with Anapod Explorer which works perfectly with Vista.

Anyone else like Vista - I've heard plenty from the negative side.
