Need to watch that because the last time we tried it, indexing took some time and a good deal of CPU cycles. It also isn't constrained to the local drives, meaning you can point it at a network drive if you like. That's a problem in the enterprise, because Vista will automatically maintain an indexing vigil over any folders it's been assigned for searching, staying aware of any and all changes to that folder or volume. Not that much overhead for local drives, but users can cause serious system performance issues if they point it at an oft-used network volume. Worse, they likely won't know much beyond "It suddenly got really slow."

I know we media types have been hyping Vista so much during the last few months that you're sick of reading about it. But if you've been stubbornly ignoring it, it's time to tighten your skivvies, buckle down and get ready. Get that test system up and start mapping out not just which SKUs you're deploying, but which features you'll allow your users to have versus which you're both better off disabling.
