Very well written pro vista guide. Vista was absolutely destroyed by apple, and a few problems inherent in the original release, as well as poor driver support.
I don't own vista or 7, so I can't comment. I know XP, and that's good enough for me right now. After all, there's nothing which won't run on XP but will on vista/7 currently. That may change in 2010, but I think I can wait a wee bit longer.
