Not completely though. I've been running Vista for a little over a month and while it's not perfect, everything is a little more refined than in XP, particularly networking. In a way, that's a big letdown considering the amount of work that went into Vista. But even my girlfriend (hates computers) thinks the interface is really slick. Then again, I spend most of my day using Firefox and Office 2007, popping open an XP VM when I run into a compatibility issue. Vista isn't a must have, but I don't think most people would go back if they had it! Those are great points about the OS becoming less relevant. Not completely though.
