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?

"...Vista works better with a computer(new)made for it..."
Erm...I beg to differ My HP DV 9535nr laptop works *quite* a bit better with XP on it. In fact, I lived with Vista for a month (I should get an award =]), and when I could not believe that my dual processor system was booting SLOWER than my 3.5 year old single processor XP laptop, I decided to jettison it. About the only indulgence I allowed myself was some aspects of the Vista "look" (Ex. transparent window borders/start menu, ala windowsblinds).
I'm not switching to Vista, unless Microshaft puts a gun to my head, and hopefully by then ReactOS will be my lead shield ;-)

I just don't hear any buzz about vista,
infact xp still has nearly 80% of the market.
Vista works better with a computer(new)made for it.
most computers that did not start with it has a
painful experience. I like xp it gets everything
i want done and i still have win98se on two computers
If xp becomes dirt, linux,bsd, or reactos will
hopefully, be ready by then.
