Fact is, there's nothing pushing anyone towards vista quite yet. No software is yet out that absolutely requires vista, or even claims to get any benefit from it. I realize that will change soon, but it isn't here yet.

Personally, I'll wait until there's a real reason to go... and even then it may be a while before I shell out for it (if ever). I've pretty much fully made my migration away from Windows, with the exception of games. All browsing, e-mail, office work, development, etc is done under unix.

EDIT: Also, as someone who has put forth the effort to be fully legal and own everything I use, it will be a LONG time before I feel that vista is worth picking up just for the purchase price alone (I could get a PS3 instead).
