Sounds like it's all image, noo substance.

Never mind how visually gripping it is -- will it run my software without
glitches. Will it load more quickly than XP?

I have no doubt that it will be hyped up the wazoo. However there
appears to be little substance, with little or no reason for current
users to "upgrade." (Perhaps sometime after Vista is released, Microsoft
will stop providing activation for XP in order to force the issue.
Wouldn't put it past them.)

For myself I see little reason to get excited about a new release
of the worst operating system I've worked with in the last 30 years.
