I've read reports of first-time PC users being perfectly happy with Vista alright. More so than first-time XP users. It's a friendlier OS.
Plus, if you want to, things like the control panel and the (woeful) new start menu can be switched back to 'Classic' fairly easily. I know I have.
But things that really do bother me about the Vista 'experience' : they've taken the menu bar out of the Microsoft applications and replaced it with.. eh.. nothing at all. Wtf? Luckily I don't use too many MS applications though.
And, yes, the constant (!) stop-everything-and-pay-attention-to-me pop-up warnings. I've really just stopped reading them at this stage... the next one could be asking me "Do you really want to start a nuclear war?" "Really?" "Honestly, no fooling? Launch the nukes?" and I still wouldn't pay any attention because they've effectively cried wolf so many times already.
