If you look on the internet, you will find strong opinions about this question!
Vista has been criticised for requiring powerful hardware to run well, the first release has several "rough" edges - these have largely been smoothed out with SP1 release.
However, the key thing is that the OS, by itself, isn't why you use a computer - it is applications. So however good the operating system is, if it doesn't run the applications you need to use, it is of little use.
So, in practise, the "best" operating system depends on what you want to use the computer for, what colleagues use and how much you want to spend.
For example, if you are a graphic designer working with lots of people who use Macs, then it would obviously make sense for you to buy a Mac (and run Leopard).
Similarly, if you're developing software for the X-Box, then you can only get the development software for Windows so you would buy a PC (and run Windows).
If you want a Netbook, then you don't have the option of a Mac; Apple don't have a Netbook in their range of computers - however good Leopard is.
