Vista has been okay for me. Not particularly better or worse than XP. Different in some interface and feature aspects but that is not good or bad. I don't get too far under the covers of Windows any more, have purely a "user" perspective now.

Windows 7 sounds good, by most reports. We won't get it, in my office, for at least a year. I don't use Windows at home.

Office 2007 is the real irritant as far as I am concerned. I hate it. All my colleagues hate it. They changed all the toolbars and some other interfaces, for no discernible reason other than to occupy more screen real estate.
