Actually (To clarify, I use Linux and BSD in my main PC), Vista have some good things
over 2k/XP.
1) Better security (finally a version of windoze that actually gets the users to
use a normal, limited account for daily work and only go root when needed, something
*NIX users have been doing ever since there's *NIX).
2) Ability to preload apps in RAM to have them there already when you open them (again
it's been in *NIX all the time).
3) Desktop compositing (Aero glass isn't just a new theme. Behind it there's a whole
structure meant to offload the graphical rendering to the video card's memory and
processor, leaving the main RAM and processor available to other tasks, a thing recently
available in both Linux and windoze).
Now. I know the all of this have been in *NIX before. But the OP was asking about
feature comparison between 2k and Vista.
