If you are sticking with XP - and plenty of us are - and you're planning to miss the upgrade to Vista read this article on the Australian PC World. It looks at big questions like: will Windows XP still be properly supported by Microsoft and, as a primary development target, by third parties? Is there something we've missed, some hidden gotcha that's going to trip us up?

Would you rather throw new hardware cycles at offsetting Microsoft's code bloat and voracious appetite for CPU bandwidth, or at a tangible, measurable improvement in application throughput and user productivity? Enough said.

Nuff said, indeed

A year ago I'd probably try in vain to troll you off the park for that, but I can't help but agree now.

In a business sense, I just can't justify it. I've given it to two members of staff here, and also tried to use it for myself in an sysadmin role. It's failed in both roles, offering nothing new except new issues.

I really can't see this IT department rolling Vista out, ever.
