5 Features of Vista I like
1. Search - The best thing about Vista is the indexed search.  It allows for programs, webpages, documents and emails to be searched instantly.  Also with tagging in Visita, any file can be searched on user defined meta data.  Last but not least, there are the search folders a.k.a 'virtual folders', search folders allow predefined search queries to collect relevant computer content instantly.
 
2. Graphics - Everyone loves the eye candy in Vista.  On the face of it you see AeroGlass and an awesome interface, but there is more underneath.  It is the underlying plumbing combined with Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) contained in .Net 3.0 that makes the visul appeal that bit better and easier to do.
 
3. Vista Sidebar Gadgets -  The cool thing on the side.  In todays world we need to manage more and more information in the work place or need to track the latest bloogs.
 
4. Ready Boost - Save money on Ram and boost your memory performance with a memory card or USB stick. 
 
5. Diagnostics - Is one of the improvements that might not be noticed on the face of Vista but is a welcome hand to computers users to diagnose and track their computers performance and stability over time.  It provides users with a visual view of the computer measurables in an easy to understand manner.
