Vista Business 64, though to be fair, I bought it through an educational institution and didn't pay full retail price. If that option hadn't been available, I would not have purchased it, would have waited a few more months and gotten a copy with SP1 on the disk too.

a suggestion for the op, you might want to break it down to 32 bit and 64 bit versions also

I'm mainly interested in seeing how many people have made the switch to Vista aleady.

XP Pro here (for windows). It does everything I need it to and I don't have a DX10 capable card so I can't see a reason to upgrade to Vista at the moment.

I've been using Vista Ultimate for the last year. I just finished getting all my parts for my Vista Home Premium 64 bit machine.

XP, although I do have a copy of Vista that I could install (that is legit). I have yet to get internet service at my apt, so I've been putting it off. Besides, I'm kinda scared that Vista on that machine will run slower than my current XP installation. (XP2500+,1.5Gb PC3200,120GB sata,Ati 9800pro) Maybe over spring break I'll give it a shot.

Vista Ultimate x64 on the good rig, so I voted Vista. My WinXP got relegated to my 1GHz Duron backup rig. Good place for it.

XP Home Edition SP2 32 bit on both desktop and laptop
No plans to move to Vista at this time. Maybe in a few years
if / when I buy a new computer. But then I need to see if all
my old XP programs will install and work on Vista. Some of
them are just too pricey to buy the newest version, when what
I have does what I need it to.

Looks like Vista is currently leading, for all the anti-Vista FUD thats spread. Granted, AT isn't representative of the overall market, but I predict that in 12 months or so, most people will be running Vista. Only the die hards will still be running XP then.

Using XP Pro currently but will switch to Vista once the Microsoft store starts shipping copies with SP1. It is good to have friends at Microsoft. :)

all my windows boxes run XP.
I just switched from win2K to XP in the last 2 or 3 years.

I'll probably go with Vista when a quad core system with 4+ GB of ram and a new video card is in my budget.

Given my current situation, that may be another year or two ...
