The Seattle Times: Business & Technology: A first look at Vista, good and bad

Useful high-level snapshot. 

I've been using Vista for several weeks, and my XP PCs now seem fairly primitive in comparison.  I plan to upgrade several PCs to Vista (and Office 2007) before the end of the year. 

Like it or not, you'll probably be using Windows Vista before you know it.

Microsoft expects to sell 200 million copies of the new operating system within 24 months. By comparison, Windows 95 sold 67 million copies in its first two years.
