If Vista's BETA is anything to go buy i will be sticking with XP for quite a while, i mean the Aero looks great, but i think....XP has just the stuff you need and want, with a bit more, Vista has the stuff you want and need, as well as all this other crap that is just not needed, thats why software downloads are out there for people, if i want a, for example, music editing program, ill go buy one, not pay a fortune to have my OS as well as all this other crap....just my 2 cents
