Scoble agrees that Vista isn't ready yet. I'm still undecided.
I'm not running the absolute latest (hopefully this weekend) on my tablet, though I definitely agree with Alex that recent builds are a vast improvement, even from Beta 2. His big complaint is driver support, and I'm not sure that means the operating system is not ready. Sean demonstrates just one example of what people might actually get excited about.
The Tablet experience, especially when combined with Office 2007, is drastically improved. I've finally found software to mount ISOs within Vista. The performance is acceptable on my M200 (1.8ghz Centrino, 1.5GB RAM).
There are two minor but very annoying bugs I'm dealing with now:
- I can't connect to my EVDO connection after coming out of hibernation.
- Vista occasionally "loses" my self-signed certificate on my home server, which prevents Outlook RPC over HTTPS from working until I go back and reinstall the certificate (which requires administrative privileges when I launch IExplore).
Both are minor but annoying enough that I'm considering moving back to XP SP2. Neither of these would be issues for me on my desktop though, so I may consider upgrading my primary desktop now that I have an extra machine to move my server to (assuming I can get Windows Media Connect installed on Vista).
