I doubt it (I'm well over 30 <g>). What's a real productivity booster 
for me is bigger screens, more pixels. Sharper fonts are better, too.

I couldn't care less about special effects on the UI.

If Microsoft wants my Vista $$, the feature I want is to not be able to 
surreptitiously install a rootkit. Oh, and a way to reinstall the 
operating system (when it does get rootkitted anyway) without 
reinstalling all my apps.

Because of the rootkit problem, I've resigned myself to not only do 
regular backups, but regular reinstalls of Windows, whether or not there 
are any symptoms of a rootkit.
