ill probably stick to xp for a while until dx10 really kicks in then itll be time to upgrade
In truth there is no reason to buy Vista if ur not a serious gamer, and i cant see ppl who only use Word or Power Point buying an expensive GPU just for that.

* VERY CLEVER, & VERY COMMON-SENSE imo @ least...
APK
Answer: NONE of them - Would not touch Vista with a ten foot pole!
I am happy enough with xp, im not interested in the flash desktop appearance I just want something that works and xp works fine and it's legit and I aint keen on paying for vista imo..
I say that because largely? I feel this way about Windows Server 2003 SP #2 (RC) here... it's really ALL I NEED for the most part!
:)
* Still, I have said that about Windows 2000 too, that I'd NEVER use XP, & did... in a way, I have to TRY new OS' & their API changes too, so I am aware of them as a developer or networking person (depending on jobs I take)... but, I did move to Windows Server 2003, over 2000 & XP, because imo?
They REALLY did "do it right" on this one, finally (your point in a nutshell)
APK
P.S.=> VISTA's going to be a "hard-sell" to me @ least... I love the new DirectX 10 driven API, it looks nice & many of the "internal plumbing" changes for speed & security, but do I REALLY need them? Not really... not as a home user @ least, not yet!
STILL, imo? DirectX 10 & that nice looking shell IS going to sell VISTA copies for MS... personally, I will wait it out & see the bugs come out & be shook out, first... maybe go for it when its first service pack releases... & only then! apk
