So with the new 3d Interface on Vista, how much retraining will be
needed for that?

I remember when XP came out. It was just after I had switched to Linux
on my desktop (from w2k). It took me 10 minutes to find the networking,
and I'm an MCSE. 

Based on what I've seen of the Vista Interface this will be as much of a
learning curve.
