I got stuck testing Vista at my work as my boss wants it rolled out next year for new PCs. So far the only thing positive about it is it's pleasing to the eye. Though like you said with only one theme to look at, they definitely went down hill when it came to that. I didn't think they could go much farther down with only the 3 colors to pick from in XP.

Installing network printers are a joke. Office 07 doesn't even launch if you don't have correct printer drivers installed. How can you make part of a PC unavailable for an admin???

Good times.
