Actually, I don't believe Vista will ever be truly worth the money. I come from the camp of "your OS should work around *this* generation's hardware, not only the newest and best of CPU's and video cards out there, even after turning off all of the pretty visual effects."
As not to be completely off-topic, I am very happy about the recent market introduction of NAND SSD into notebooks (as a consumer). Increased disk life (assumedly), increased wear and tear ability, decreased power usage? Those are all plusses in my book. Increased price/GB? Well, not completely desirable, but hopefully the other factors will outweigh the price in the long run (longer overall laptop life, hopefully).
Has anyone considered the data recovery business for devices like these? Obviously the same traditional methods won't work, since there are no moving parts to take apart, but I'm curious as to how that business is taking this new technology (not that standard HDs will be going anywhere soon).

Being Vista-less is actually good news. Vista won't be worth the money until service pack 1 is released.
