I only went to XP a year or so ago, so i won't be rushing in, but I'm interested to know what xmarkers think.

I must confess that IE7 has lured me away from Firefox, nice browser.

With Vista, it is DRM issues and M$ getting in to bed with the RIAA that is the problem. M$, along with the RIAA, will treat you as criminals with out you ever doing anything wrong. I do not need a computer being a tattletale or reporting my electronic activities to homeland security.

There is some bad voodoo going down and most people are completely blind to it.

Bill Gates himself has said that he won't be using Vista. I think he's regretting that his company is starting to become what it has been accused of being for so many years, now that he's handed over the reins.

As far as using a Macintosh-- I will cease using computers before I ever buy a Mac. I refuse to ever participate in Apple's corporate goosestep. Between Apple, Sun, and Oracle combining forces to buy that Justice Department suit in the 90's, and the attempts to force everyone who wants to enjoy digital music to use itunes and an ipod, I think we can see who needs the antitrust suit brought against them. (soap box mode off)
As far as Vista goes, unless quite a bit changes by the time they end all support for XP, I will be switching over to Linux.
