well i personally am going 2 upgrade 2 vista. yea i kno that it looks like it's just eyecandied XP, but alot of the new things for vista are "under the hood" it will have bugs, but it will also have more security and performance. i have researched it alot because i did a project or 2 on it at school so i've seen that there are alot of benifits. it may not seem like it now,(because there are only beta's out) but i definatly think it will be worth it
by the time it comes out, hopefully they will have fixed most of the bugs, but by vthen, it will have been upgraded so much, that it is worth getting it, ill just ask a friend to give me a copy of the cd...lol
virus are often times aquired by the user being stupid, not the OS. besides all you would have 2 do is delete the virus or if it's bad enough format the hardrive, not buy a new comp
