Of course, if you are upgrading to Vista, the eye-candy is just a sales gimick. If, and when, I were to at some date get Windows Vista, I will frantically find the options to set it back to the classic theme/views.
It's sad how Windows Vista will not support EFI, so that it will dual-boot with Mac OS X and Windows on Intel Macs.
But there are many reports from the current beta of Windows Vista that the Tablet PC enhancements found in Vista are better than Windows XP Tablet PC Edition. For instance, handwriting recognition is vastly improved, instead of Windows XP guessing what your writing (disambiguation between 'l' (ell) and '1' (one)); Windows Vista learns your handwriting. During post-installation, Vista asks you to write out a sentence, then the OS knows what your handwriting looks like, your handwriting speed, how you hold the pen at an angle, strokes, etc. Although its limitation: only for the English language.
EDIT: Flash forward less than a year, there's some handwriting recognition for other languages.
