In his review of the February (Enterprise) CTP, Paul Thurrott is reporting that there has been a major back track on part of Microsoft as far as Virtual Folders are concerned. This sucks! I gotta tell you Virtual Folders was appearing to be the most powerful feature of Vista. And I can't understand if they have it working great, why cut out one of the most exciting features? Why not make it a little less visible like Sidebar (which isn't activated by default)? It would be really great feature for power users like me.
Update - Paul wrote to me on the 6th saying that Virtual Folders are still available, that "... they aren't removed completely; there is a Saved Searches folder that contains pre-built virtual folders, and of course you can still create your own virtual folders by saving searches. They're not as prominent in the shell as they used to be, but they're still there for the most part.
