To me, the purpose of an OS is to sit in the background and support applications. Vista is way too much "in my face" for my liking - XP is bad enough but I can deal with that pretty easily.

Win2K was a MAJOR improvement over Win98 and NT4, and let's not even talk about ME. To me, Vista should have been called ME-07.

mint and OS2 are pretty good too.
