Vista Brings A Little To The Table
While I think Vista has it's issues, I whole heartedly think that Vista Media Center is tons better than XP Media center. Also, if good drivers are used, Vista (IMO) seems more stable and responsive than XP.
As far as DRM goes, I haven't had any issues with anything i've tried to do (AnyDVD for movies and SoundTaxi for music). My vids play fine and my music sounds wonderful. I don't think Vista is the best thing since sliced bread by no means as i still can't figure out why I'm not being offered service pack 1 through update yet, but Vista has been more than cooperative for me and I think the administrative tweak features you gain access to through gpedit are so much easier to deal with than XP.
So for the super tech heads like James, Peer, and the other guys who can totally take Vista apart, you probably see many things you don't like, but for us mid level techies, its just fine.
And by the way, you can totally turn off UAC through gpedit (the correct way to turn UAC off).
