it's had lots rewritten
but in essense it's built from the Vista core yup. The UAC has had some massive changes so it no longer keeps asking you tedious questions when you're trying to do things manually, it only asks when applications try doing things now (as the default option), much more sensible. From first glances it took up less ram and was much more snappy.
One cool feature (apparently) is the ability to mount VHD (Virtual Hard Disks) and even boot from them. That's going to save shit loads of time with backing up.

Ah cool, cheers.
I don't actually find Vista too bad (once you've turned off all the crap to make it like XP again). All my software ran and most of the fuss from Abobe (in particular) about their stuff not working on it was basically bullshit (to get folks to upgrade to cs3 of course :-)).
