I agree with Jim here. When XP came out I installed it over 98 on the family/fun PC right away and explored it's idiosyncrasies while keeping 2KPro on my workstation for at least another year. I love playing with hardware/software/OSs... but NOT on my work PC. I have my wife's laptop with Vista and since setting it up 3 months ago I've spent less than 1 hour on it. I'll give it at least another year before I feel the need to introduce more challenges to my work environment. XP is just really good. It's like trying to pry me away from Homesite. I have yet to hear anyone tout any BENEFITS from Vista even though some people find it usable.
