For
- Improved performance
- Pinned icons
- Live thumbnails
- Jump lists and window snaps make Aero useful as well as attractive
- New ways of organising files with libraries
- Improved backup
- Less annoying notifications
Against
- XP Mode isn't an integrated option yet
- Microsoft backed down on libraries and Ctrl-E brings up My Computer instead
- You can't add NAS drives to libraries
- Ultimate edition is almost unnecessary except for adding BitLocker – which should be in the Professional Edition – and rather expensive (as are the Anytime Upgrades)
- Yes, it's what Vista should have been (but it's more than that)
