Gonzo,
I appreciate the humour, but I think it would be a fairer comparison if you had said something like:
"I just bought a new digital SLR from Canon, and I was really pleased that I could re-use all the lenses from my film SLR".
Because to me a lot of the Vista problem people have is like saying:
"only some of the lenses from my old camera still work, but I didn't know that in advance and the manufacturer obviously thinks they can screw more money out of me by making me replace some or all of my existing kit when I upgrade my camera".
Interestingly, a lot of the positive Vista reports seem to be along the lines of:
"I've never had an SLR camera before, this new Digital SLR is the dogs whatsits".
