Vista is a pretty big drop of features. The main feature being, well, the support for the replacement for BIOS. Mac OS supports it now, and I love the idea of drivers stored on the devices themselves and an architecture that removes the need to get OS specific drivers. Hopefully MS will release a major update to Vista to add in that support.
But here's another thing. I'm wanting superior ways to get updates for all my stuff. I think drivers, programs, whatever, they should all be designed with some as to be defined "update standard". That is, they all have some basic data in common that can be loaded into a single program, ported to various OSes, so that I can just run a single program and get all my updates from that.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
