A resounding NO.

WinXP Pro will serve me well for many years to come. Specially I spend big bucks getting a replacement (at retail price. :() for it a few month ago. It truely hurt when the cd w/series numbers that I lost was dirt cheap/free from one of MS promotion. :brokenheart:

I'm not sure when exactly my university will offer Vista through their licensing agreement, but I do intend to buy it pretty much as soon as it's available. I've been using it as my main OS since RC1 came out almost three months ago, and I do like it. It helps though that I'm almost certain it'll be less than $20 (for comparison, they sell a bundle with XP and XP x64 for $10). If I had to pay full price, I'd be much more hesitant about it.

Only if its free. But I doubt that will ever happen. Seriously, unless vista makes my system faster, and do what 3rd party appz cant, I am not going to use it.

I've started testing at work with the 32bit and 64bit version and we'll probably fully migrate to it in a year.

its definitely going to be a few years for me. Unless there are some insane improvements over XP I plan on keeping XP pro for a while.

Please save yourself for at least another year till drivers come out.. I've been screwed over twice now by Vista, once by the final and once by the beta.

I will be upgrading, but my company will not for a while. Too many things to test before a full-scale rollout.

FIXED!!! VLK

You better snag that activation server too while you're at it. Vista business requires activation just like the consumer. The business version just let's you activate it using an internal server.

Where is the option for "I won't be upgrading until I assemble/buy my next computer"?

Edit:
I guess it would fall under the category of "Not for a long time"

I installed it today on my latitude 820, stuck with ultimate edition from msdn. I can say I would hate to see this run on a machine with less than 2gb of memory, my specs on this are up there and with all the default animations etc it seems slow. Office 2007 seems nice as well. I am also suprised the online activation worked on both as well currently.
