Anyone else using Vista?

I installed vista a couple days ago and I am not very impressed. Anyone else using it and what do you think of it? I do like IE with tabs. and I like the look of it. It just takes so many steps to change the smallest option now.

My laptop doesn't meet the specs for Vista.
I'll try it on my PC if I can get it working again. Is it cool?

we were playing with it again today at work and on a 2GHz machine with 512MB RAM,,,,and a 32MB video card,,,it rated a 1 out of 5 (with 5 being the best) for being able to run Vista.
it is a bit new to be able to give it a real test, and it has some interesting features,,,,,but it's still too early yet.

then I must have like .5 on the rating system, lol. it runs fairly well but AOL is not compatible, I installed AOL and it would not run and then it started giving me the blue screen of death until I uninstalled aol in safe mode.
