Three quick Vista related links I picked up this week and enjoyed that I though you might appreciate:

• Vista Grades You With The Windows Experience Index - this talks about the Windows Experience Index, a rating system built into Vista that classifies how good your machine will be at running Vista and making it look nice. I think this great as a grading tool, but I'm not sure how wise it is to suggest to people how badly their machine might work.
• Why you shouldn't buy Vista is a great guide to reasons why Vista may not be worth all the hype and effort, especially if you don't have the hardware to push that Windows Experience Index up high.
