So far so good. The new interface is clean and uncluttered very similar to the theme in IE7 and WMP11 Beta. My only complaint is the ability to revert to the classic view. I wish Microsoft would take it out. I currently do HelpDesk support and don't ever set XP to the classic view, setting up as few icons on the desktop as possible. I believe it's much more efficient. I looked, and unfortunately this view is still available in the Vista RC1. As I have tried to explain to users who usually have several programs open, it's much more efficient to access these through the Quick Launch besides the fact that most new programs seem to install to the desktop, Quick Launch and Taskbar. I also select to show the desktop toolbar on the taskbar which shows all the icons that are normally shown on the desktop of the classic view. Overall though, I think Microsoft is headed in the right direction. I’ve been running Vista RC1 with Beta 2 of Office 2007. So far so good.
