If you got your important applications running in Vista, congratulations -- stick with it. Do not move elsewhere; I mean that.
My software philosophy is that if your happy, don't move. Software is written so terribly today, it's just sad, especially with the kind of heavy-duty cheap-as-shit hardware we have today. If something works, you are a lucky, lucky bastard. Do not switch until you are loosing hair.
If you're unhappy, look elsewhere, look closely, and look fast. I hate Windows. I do not own a Apple computer, but I almost feel like a fan. Unix (love Unix, tried OpenBSD, NetBSD, FreeBSD; loved them all), nicely designed hardware, people who care more than Hewlett-Packard or Dell about quality, no bloat ware, the list goes on. I'm buying myself a Macbook in the future. Only an act of some god or a really, really good argument could deter me from that goal.
I used a Dell notebook before. I won't do that again. I'm a software developer, so my tasks don't require a lot of video hardware, and I see plenty of geeky programmer brethren happy with their Macs. If I can get the stability of FreeBSD and the usability of a designed-with-care user interface, I'm sold.
For Cpt. Uncanny, I recommend that if they are unhappy with Window XPs, give Vista a whirl. But, being a computer nerd I have to remind Uncanny that:
1. A lot of stupid, stupid, stupid Windows XP crap has been carried over to Vista.

2. The best features in Vista have never appeared.
3. It fell prey to an ancient BIOS virus!

4. It's bad enough that Microsoft is offering a 'downgrade' CD.
http://www.tgdaily.com/content/v…Uncanny, if you want to try Vista, go for it. If it breaks, run, and don't look back. If it works, hug it, cuddle it, and cherish your new, functioning mucho machine.
Same goes for Apple computers.
Now excuse me while I go and play around with some program called 'End Task' that keeps wanting my attention...
