Anyone planning on upgrading? I guess technically it is not an upgrade more than an install. personally I have no plans. Maybe in a year or so but certainly no time soon. |

I've been toying w/ buying a new machine lately. I can't decide if I'd rather get one now or wait until Vista comes with the machine. I wonder also how prices will move too. Seems MS has done a lot to convey the impression that Vista will be good for gamers. Not that I believe any of that but they are more into games now. But I supposed it's always a good idea to wait. |

That whole Vista DirectX10 / graphics card compatibility has left a bad taste in my mouth. So at the moment it's 'screw them'. |

I am mess with it at work.... more just to get familiar with it. At home, no plans anytime soon... I agree with Arindel, however nowadays I will be willing to let Microsoft off with SP1. |

I'll agree with DF. As long games work on XP it's fine for me. Besides my comp can't run vista... |

http://digg.com/tech_news/Ballmer_Blame ... ista_Sales interesting article. I guess Ballmer is blaming pirate copies for poor sales. The comments on Digg are right on IMO |

I think they need to realize that the majority of people dont upgrade OS's unless they buy a new machine. IF its not broke...people dont fix it... |

yeah that is a good point. Vista is 'nice' but by no means 'necessary' . I remember when they rolled out 95 and even XP they made a huge deal out of it. I think only those that are even remotely in the loop even know about Vista. I have only seen 1 TV commercial and it only highlights the flash and polish stuff. Bottom line for me is that the tech writers call it 'just ok' and 'nothing critical' so therefore I will probably update to it within a year but I am in zero hurry to drop hundreds of dollars on something that will have no impact on the way that I do everyday things. I'd but I Wii first! |

I'll get it with a new machine, definitely not before. |

Bought my mom a new Dell, which came with Vista. I don't mind it after all her old programs got patched up properly. She, nor I, need Vista, its just what came with the Dell. |
