No, but many years still. Or transition to another os entirely. Or ms can get their crap together and I'd actually upgrade and maybe even transition my work systems...though I doubt it.

I'm going to upgrade, because I'll get it for free.

I used to think that XP wasn't worth the upgrade, but then I went back to Windows 2000 for a while and I missed some of the little improvements in XP.

XP PRO suits my needs and wants as of now. Why would I throw more money at Microsoft for some bells and whistles that I don't even need?

People that say they aren't going to upgrade are lying to themselves, and to the world. :p

RLY?

I hope never to buy another Windows, the only thing I want it for is games anyway. Two things could happen. 1 - it could become possible to play games on Linux. 2 - PC gaming could die and I could buy a console. Both are quite likely IMO.

I'm gonna go ahead and give it some more time. I don't really have the free time/motivation right now to sit in front of my PC for hours on end to re-set up all my programs, learn a new OS, etc. etc. etc...

liars...all of you. I bet most of you are running XP now. It'll be the same somewhere down the line once vista comes out.

Didn't read the article but I don't want to upgrade(if you can call it an upgrade).

History repeats itself again and again and again.

Give it a year or two, tops. Everybody here will be running Vista with maybe a couple of exceptions, and we'll all be clammoring over how much better it is than XP.

Eventually when I buy another Computer from Dell in the distant future that has the hardwarethat can run it. I'm in no big hurry though as what I have serves me well.
