I have XP Media Centre 2005 SP2 and will be in no hurry to upgrade, unless the initial reviews have been phenomenally good, and even then not until Vista's Service Pack 1 is released.

I would wait until the first service pack is released before even thinking about getting Vista.
Read the reviews, try someone's computer that has it, but I suspect for most of us it will just be XP, but prettier.
What do you want Vista to do that XP cannot?

The rule of thumb is usually wait about a year. This will be time for the first service pack to come out and for a lot of the bugs to be fixed. You also need to make sure your computer is configured to operate properly with Vista before you even think about buying it. I would stick with XP until it is time to buy a new computer.

Well, if you have the money now is not a bad investment, especially if you have a business It can help you organize things a little bit. Vista is more user friendly and better looking, plus other security features. You won't regret your purchase.
Hope it helps

Too early to declare it. seems cool, i can't say, yet i think of we'd desire to consistently wait to work out comments, different consumers experiencing them besides as Mac OS X Leopard, and a assessment of the two. this might do.... 6 months to declare for specific which OS is worth.

When that new system does come out, It may be wise to get in writing, totlal assurances that all previous soft wares that you already have, will work wit out a hitch, as sweel as with all hard ware you already have as well.

No because Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard will be better.

no because the security wouldn't be up to scratch-remember all the previous Microsoft products-crap but later the security developed and the computer didn't crash as much:)
