I do agree that the new search functions and UAC is good, but when it
comes to the crunch, current users with XP and no free upgrade, will it
be worth the money - I am not so sure...

Really?

I've also been running Vista Ultimate since the MSDN release. It caused
some issues with the graphics card in my existing machine (not entirely
Vista's fault, I think; there had been issues with it under XP, too) so
I used it as an excuse to buy a new Dell Dimension 9200.

I also have one of the Home editions installed on a basic laptop.

It is, I have to say, an absolutely massive improvement over XP. OK, we
know Aero is very nice but there's soooo much more. I love UAC (though
many hate it). Search is fantastically quick. It's not missed a beat. I
can't remember what a blue screen looks like anymore. Power saving
features are great, particularly the new Hybrid Sleep.

I could go on, but needless to say, I think it's a fabulous upgrade from
XP.

And don't get me started on Office 2007...
