When my wife bought her new computer (which came with it) she heard so many bad things about Vista, we insisted on also getting a separate XP install and setting up a dual boot. So far, she's mostly booting to Vista, and it's been much more hassle-free that the fresh XP Pro SP2 install as far as finding drivers, installing new devices, etc. She's had zero problems with it. It doesn't ask for permission to do things incessantly, and that can be turned off.
Mind you, there are different levels of Vista out there (the way XP had Home and Professional versions) and hers was one of the high-end ones. Also, by no means is my wife a power user. But as an average consumer, she's satisfied.
