I am going to stay with XP as long as I can. Vista does not bring anything new to the party to justify the upgrade. Five years between operating systems
is not too long. Big companies typically refresh workstations after 36 months and laptops 24 months. So a minimum of 36 months between new operating systems is acceptable. I think everyone expected more after waiting 5 yrs for a new operating system. Vista does not justify the additional expense and training required. I like many large companies are waiting on the side lines for Windows 7. Hopefully this one will be ready for prime time.

I've been in this "racket" for nearly 44 years, and I've seen a lot. I go back to hand wiring boards to "program" something. When the personal computer appeared, it was wonderful. Over the years we went from DOS to Windows thru 9X and finally to NT (win2K) and finally to XP. I have no intention of EVER going to Vista, when it really adds nothing to the way I use a computer. And as Micheal says, we keep having to buy newer "faster" hardware to just keep up with our productivity. LONG LIVE XP!!!
