When will you convert to Window Vista?

    I am thinking of converting to Vista but not now. I don't want to jump into it until all the bugs are discovered. I am thinking of doing it at the end of this year. How about you?

    I like XP...

    I'm going to switch to vista when I get a new computer or desktop.. since that'll be the only option.

    When the service pack is released I would consider upgrading to Vista.

    The next time I buy a new computer..I find it pointless to upgrade my computer since I'm so used to XP, and it works fine. The only thing I'm scared of is not upgrading, and then being a total newb w/ Vista..

    The next time I buy a computer. XP is fine . . .I don't get the need to upgrade.

    I'll be buying a new computer within the next year for sure so by that time.

    I guess for some if you need to get a new computer then Vista may be your only option at which time if you opt to stay with Windows.

    Well, I've got a new laptop and it comes with Vista. It is not all bad but it took me a few hours to get use to.

    Same as most others already..whenever I get a new computer I'll be upgrading. Had this one about 3 years now, so it's about due for a change.

    vista is bad.
    i work for a network software company, and most people who use it are not happy with it and already call it "windows me 2".
    plus it comes with this freakking drm. here some stuff for you:

    When I was using it at Circuit City Just playing around with it... it seemed pretty nice.. Graphics were improved and it was decently smooth.. Definetly better than what I'm used to..

    yes, to put it mildly... vista is bad.
    of course, those that are impressed by flashy graphics will switch and only then will they realize they've made a big mistake - lol

    if you're interested, check out http://badvista.fsf.org/ and scroll down to view "what is wrong with vista"

    also, this mac commercial pretty much sums it up... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VuqZ8AqmLPY

    Once all the bugs are fixed, then sure, why not?

    I still haven't heard great feedbacks about Vista. Personally still not that encouraged to take the switch! Still love XP!
