For the time I'm sticking with XP. I've read and watched a lot on Vista and, so far, there isn't anything that made me go "ooo ahhh. I gotta have that!"
Aside from that, I tend to wait about a 1 year before upgrading to a new OS. I don't care to be a beta tester. I want it solid and usable.

It reports that my scanner won't work with it and it's a brand new scanner.
- Maybe the tool MS released to check if everything will run doesn't work all the time? I haven't heard anything from it really, so I can't comment on if it reports wrong information or not. I'm crossing my fingers on the laptop, hopefully all the drivers will work fine with Vista...
I've also heard that there are drivers now specific for Vista, so maybe the tool was reporting it doesn't work, but that's because the driver installed isn't for Vista?

I bought a new laptop last week, mainly to assist in troubleshooting networks when I do computer related service calls. I went ahead and got one with Vista Home Premium installed. After I got it setup initially, the first thing I did was attempt to connect to and see all the pc's on my network. After several frustrating moments, I found that a Win XP box, as all non Vista boxes,need to hava a component called "Link Layer Discovery Protocol" installed in order for a Vista box to detect it. While this was no big deal for me at home, I can hardly go to a customers home or business and tell them I need to install this little program on all their machines so my Vista box can see whats going on with their network. I would have a hard time letting someone do that to my network if the I didn't know. So the next thing I did was set up my new laptop to dual boot with Win XP Pro. From what I've seen, I should of went with XP to begin with. Although the Aero interface is kinda cool.

Upgrading to a new Microsoft OS straight away is always bad news. I won't be for a while, as I know some of the hardware I have doesnt have drivers out yet.
There were a lot of bugs in the Release Candidates, and I don't care what Microsoft say - Windows will not be safe till someones attacked it, severly.

I'm very seriously considering a MAC.

I do like my mac a lot - but then again I don't do any actual work on it, it's just for browsing and multimedia stuff. The main issue with Macs is the cost of software.

The right way is that I will buy an upgrade when the major bugs are gone, 'cause XP still work normally for me.
