Vista-64 really works pretty well on a 3GHz Q6600 with 4GB of RAM. As others have mentioned, some of the options are hard to find, but overall I think it is pretty decent. And yes, even the search works well enough.

I like W2K too, but some more recent software (like Photoshop CS3) no longer supports it (and there are no work-arounds). Otherwise, there really is not much difference between it and XP.

FWIW, I have a W2K box that has never, ever, crashed. XP stability is pretty good too as long as the local network stays alive (it does not like printing to a network that goes away). Vista has been very stable too, but recently has shown a weird bug. An RDP session of a Vista VM shows on-screen corruption in the RDP session. Odd.
