You're joking...right?
Windows Vista still continues to have just as many, if not more bugs than Leopard. Vista has been out for...what, like almost a year now?!

Sure, Leopard has some rather interesting bugs, but ones that Apple will likely fix before Microsoft can get off their ass to release Vista SP1.

Windows Vista is plagued with issues that made Windows Me famous. While it is nowhere near as unstable as Windows Me. Windows Vista isn't exactly stable or fast or run well on a pre-loaded $600 laptop from "Worst Buy" that all the Moms and Dads want to buy their kids this year because they can't afford something with 4GB of RAM, a Core 2 processor, and a high-end video card from ATI or NVIDIA.

I'm willing to bet we see a 10.5.1 release with most (if not all) of the major bugs in Leopard fixed before we see Vista SP1. For those who think all of the issues in Vista are fixed...think again. Most of these fixes are waiting in developer versions of Vista SP1 and are not yet available to home users. So, tell grandma that she's gonna have to wait a while for a patch to her BSOD issue on her $499 Acer.
