Extreme Tech posted a great article called the "Why Vista Won't Suck". They point out some pretty key features that I've already mentioned prevoiusly, but it sounds better coming from them.  

I think the title of the article is pretty spot-on, too. Yeah, Vista definitely won't suck. Will it be the Best. Thing. Ever? What I've seen has really made me excited, both as a Windows user and as a gamer. Read the article, and I think you'll agree that things are looking pretty good...
