I used to think Vista's good feature is a focus on security, but I just realized:
Windows is the most widely adopted consumer OS. Thus, no matter what, it will always be the least secure operating system out there.
Heck, XP will become safer a few years down the line when the virus people start focusing on exploiting Vista (the new one on the block) and pay far less attention to XP.
Besides that, all of the fancy software in Ultimate is no different from nicely built 3rd-party stuff, and Microsoft's attempts to get DX 10 and various games running only on Vista will fail very quickly.
I now have no reason to upgrade to Windows Vista.
