I don't know about anyone else, but that's me convinced. Brilliant argument.

Yes, there's significant improvements to Vista across the board, just because you didn't bother to research, doesn't mean they don't exist. As with any binary only operating system, you only see what's on the surface, not what drives it.

Elaborate, but I'm almost certain that you will need to get the salt and ketchup out to start eating your hat.
Further more, Vista is a significant technology shift for Microsoft compared to 2000->XP which was just a tarted up UI with some minor kernel modifications. And Vista's Gold Master came out a *LOT* more polished off than XP's, which took 2 service packs to bring it up to 'usable' status.
