I installed Vista on my laptop and was very pleased with it. Until I realized that the one piece of software I needed didn't work. (3dsMax... damn you cdilla/flexlm whatever it is now.)

...and I did install a lot of WinXP drivers for things. I also had to "hack" the nvidia driver to recognize my video card as vista capable for aero effects.
