.... With the imminent release of Windows Vista to consumers this month, Linus Torvalds, the father of Linux, has claimed Microsoft's latest desktop effort is over-hyped and not a revolutionary advancement.
"I don't actually think that something like Vista will change how people work that much," Torvalds told Computerworld. "I think it, to some degree, has been over-hyped as being something completely new and I don't actually think it is."

I think the only thing 'revolutionary' about Vista is the level of content protection that will occur. That is scary enough, and will probably have some eventual impact on Linux.
Other than that, the original plans for Vista have been toned down due to development problems and the fact that they had to get a product out soon to recover some of the tremendous costs associated with Vista (estimated by some to be over $10 billion).
