    Been using Vista Ultimate from MSDN for the past month and I'm very happy with it.

    I thought about partitioning my HD to put a linux distribution on it, but am too lazy just yet. If Vista becomes mandatory to keep up with MS, then I'll probably switch to linux. The problem I have is the complaints about slow speed, and I don't want to upgrade my computer largely for eye-candy. The sad part is that I have a free upgrade, but it's only for the most basic version. I'm using XP home now with with media center, so my "free" upgrade would end up being a downgrade or cost me a couple hundred bucks...

    Nope, but it will be forced down people's throats.

    I will wait for the third rollout. Heck I just starting using XP a year ago.

    Always wait till most of the bugs are gone.

    I'm definitely not going to buy, will wait for my nex PC in a couple of years. Besides, what would I need Vista for ? Because they all boast about its so-called security ? Not enough for me, I can take care of my security :)

    Im happy with XP right now and I had took a long time to part with my win 98 so much so I still use the classic theme with XP, I will be getting a new laptop soon and probably go with vista to see how it is.

    That's one of the reasons why the release has such a delay.
    Normally it should've been release around november I believe to everybody (or even earlier, can't remember).

    This one is properly secured against hackers I believe (sadly).
