Likewise, I have not seen anything in vista worth upgrading for. Aero graphics? Please! Last thing I need is more of a resource hog detracting from showsqueeze. Transparant windows - you can get that now with a free plugin. IE7? Still playing catchup with Firefox and Opera. New search capabilities? Still playing catchup with Google.

DRM and anti-priacy spyware? No thank you. I like to have a say in what my computer can or can't do.

If I were to buy a new computer with Vista installed, I'd probably leave it but install XP on another drive, just to have the novelyty of vista. Maybe after toing with it once all the bugs and screwups are taken care of (figure at least a year until it is manageable) I might start seeing what I can "Tweak" to make it workable.

Keep an eye on the users with vista vs xp and w2k over the course of next year (at least over the three or two quarters that vista is actually available) and you should see what we're talking about.

I took about a year and a half to go from win98 to XP, I expect this to take much longer since I don't see what vista can offer above xp. In fact, the reason I finally switched was that the video card I wanted did not work on win98. I would note that after that and a long and painful transition I have become an XP fan (vs win98) although there are some old systems where the XP resource hog is really a burden. And if XP is a resource hog...
