Is Vista a 3D-XP?

Hello:

I have compared features of windows vista to those of win xp and have realized that 
 except for 3D windows, nothing else is new - or at least, my pc does the same with 
some extra freeware:

Transparent windows = vitrite
New task switch = TaskSwitchXP
Gadgets = yahoo!Widgets
and so on... not to say IE7 can be replaced by FireFox2.

Better start menu? Well, I don't like MS  programs organization, so I have my own:
start->Programs->10 software categories: 
1.Documents (office), 
2.file handling (compressor, download manager), 
3.Development (IDEs)
4.Games
5.Safety
6.Multimedia 
7.Tweaks
8.Servers (html/FTP/MySQL)
9.Hardware utils.
10.Others 

I think it's enough for me

More security? I have comodo firewall, Sistem Safety Monitor and SpyBot.

A powerfull search engine? I can also look for files with a key word with standar 
win xp search function!

So, why would you advice me to upgrade to WinVista? 

(Note I have just bought a new PC but it was some weeks before the upgrade program, 
so an upgrade would cost despite I have just paid for XP!)
