1.) Performance. 20% across-the-board framerate drop in games, as high as 60% in some games. OS takes over 700 megs of RAM just for itself, leaving that much less for application performance.
2.) User interface design. It's pretty from a graphical/eye-candy perspective, but I find it cluttered. Honestly, it reminds me of Linux (specifically KDE). There's too much on the screen all the time, and their attempts to make common things findable in fewer clicks (e.g. listing common tasks under categories in the Control Panel) means that you have more to read on every screen, and finding uncommon things takes more digging than before.
Until I have applications that require Vista (and no, Halo II is not enough), I don't have any reason to upgrade.
