You'll all be running vista soon enough...
The jump from win98se to XP was rather impressive and was one of the best OS upgrades I?ve ever experienced in terms of stability and overall driver compatibility with existing hardware. I?ve used Vista. I?ve played around with it. Sure, it?s fine? it?s just another OS. It won?t wipe your ass. It won?t fix you a sandwich. It?s absolutely nothing special. The jump from XP to Vista is minimal when compared to 98 to XP. Until XP becomes obsolete I see no reason to upgrade to Vista; until the software I use is no longer compatible with XP, why bother upgrading?

If you are buying a new computer and it comes pre-loaded with Vista sure you have a reason to start using it. Otherwise I just don't see the point... it runs a bit slower than XP and really adds nothing new to the table than tons of DRM bullshit.
