Not yet, it the best advice.
Microsoft Windows Vista is essentially an expensive graphical user interface "upgrade" to Microsoft Windows XP. Right now, there is no compelling reason to upgrade if you have XP. Maybe when XP stops being supported in 2011.

Windows Vista is the new Operating System from Microsoft, the next one up from Windows XP.
Whilst it boasts lots of new and some exciting features, I wouldn't recommend upgrading until it has been around for a few more months.
It is fairly unstable at this moment in time, although within a few months it should be as stable as XP.
Check out the Microsoft Website for Windows Vista, and read about the new features of the new Windows operating system.
An Upgrade to Windows Vista would set you back from around £99 (For the Home Basic Edition).

Windows Vista is an os or Operating system like xp, dos, or linux.
It is the new and improved xp so to speak.
It has new features than xp, but also alot more issues. I would wait 6-8 months before upgrading.

Another Brilliant Windows Package put out by the Brilliant Bill Gates (SIKE) Dude I wouldn't waste my time with the new windows software. It took 2 or 3 years to get Windows XP stable. He is doing Video Game Systems now and they are buggy too. Thats just my opinion...

A piece of junk that Microsoft put out too early to get consumers to buy something they cant use yet ....if you upgrade expect that you will not be able to see your old folders or data and a lot of your hardware and software may not work. If you try to uninstall be aware that there is NO rollback,wait for SP 1 to come out and it goes more mainstream to upgrade.. Symantec does not even have the code quite yet...every thing you use on there has to come from Microsoft

is the latest release of Microsoft Windows, a line of graphical operating systems used on personal computers, including home and business desktops. Before its announcement on July 22, 2005, Vista was known by its codename Longhorn.[1] On November 8, 2006, Windows Vista development was completed and released to manufacturing. Over the next two months it was released to MSDN, TechNet Plus and TechNet Direct subscribers, computer hardware and software manufacturers and volume license customers. On January 30, 2007, it was released worldwide to the general public,[2] and is available for download from Microsoft's web site.[3] These release dates come more than five years after the release of its predecessor, Windows XP, making it the longest time span between two releases of Windows.
According to Microsoft,[4] Windows Vista contains hundreds of new features; some of the most significant include an updated graphical user interface and visual style dubbed Windows Aero, improved searching features, new multimedia creation tools such as Windows DVD Maker, and completely redesigned networking, audio, print, and display sub-systems. Vista also aims to increase the level of communication between machines on a home network using peer-to-peer technology, making it easier to share files and digital media between computers and devices. For developers, Vista introduces version 3.0 of the .NET Framework, which aims to make it significantly easier for developers to write high-quality applications than with the traditional Windows API.
Microsoft's primary stated objective with Vista, however, has been to improve the state of security in the Windows operating system.[5] One of the most common criticisms of Windows XP and its predecessors has been their commonly exploited security vulnerabilities and overall susceptibility to malware, viruses and buffer overflows. In light of this, then Microsoft chairman Bill Gates announced in early 2002 a company-wide 'Trustworthy Computing initiative' which aims to incorporate security work into every aspect of software development at the company. Microsoft claimed that it prioritized improving the security of Windows XP and Windows Server 2003 above finishing Windows Vista, significantly delaying its completion.[6]
During the course of its development, Vista has been the target of a number of negative assessments by various groups. Criticism of Windows Vista has included protracted development time, more restrictive licensing terms, the inclusion of a number of new Digital Rights Management technologies aimed at restricting the copying of protected digital media, and the usability of new features such as User Account Control.
