It's interesting that the new Aero UI is not going to be available in all versions.
The user comments at the bottom of that article are a gold mine.

I've seen the beta test release for windows vista, and my impression was a cluttered and restricted operating system
etc...
The nearly all have something negative to say.

I agree with the "looks a bit too Mac" comment. That was definitely my first reaction to it... a lot of brushed-steel-looking grays and blacks. Fortunately, all that stuff is skinnable.
There were some aspects of Vista I did like, like the extra Explorer bells and whistles. The main thing I didn't like about it was the abysmal performance, but I'm assuming they'll fix that before they ship (or that they already have since Beta 1), since it would be downright suicidal to put out an OS that performs worse than what you've got out there right now.
