Well, it wasn't *all* horrible. A lot of the advances that we can enjoy (like a re-written desktop window manager) mean that we get live thumbnail previews of running applications, and UAC has resulted in a much safer OS. I think a lot of the good stuff was lost in the reviews and subsequent Vista bashing. That said, there wasn't a whole lot of readily apparent feature reasons to jump to Vista in the first place. A lot of it was under the hood stuff.
