• I held on to windows 2000 for a long time before I went to XP because for me, it wasn't that big of a deal (and it still isn't). However after having a quick muck about with vista and the new desktop.. I had to have it at home.. So I went and actually bought the OS and threw it on my machine at home (which is a couple of years old, but with a new video card and more RAM runs vista no problems at all).
  
  There is a lot more that needs to be turned off in order to make it usable for power users.. but once you get past that crap and it starts working how you want.. its a very good OS, and I like it plenty.
  
  It can be finicky (occaisionally failed to boot and just hung with a black screen.. turned out to be my sound card of all things), but lately haven't had any problems with it, and am still happy to have moved from XP to Vista.
  
  I think there is a lot of bad 'word of mouth' which is putting people off, but I say get out there and give it a bash!!!
  
  Happy new year! In reply to: "Does Vista's stunted growth hint at the death of the desktop?"
