I would really like to upgrade, and I have the hardware, but I'm not willing to shell out $400+...when will the prices begin to drop?

Vista is NOT an upgrade.
Haven't you seen what's wrong with it?
Here's a start...
1) Third party drivers/applications are not allowed unless “approved” by Microsoft. Some of your favorite software won't run on Vista because the drivers have not been "approved" by Microsoft. This also means that the digital camera you just bought may not be "allowed" to connect to the PC.
2) ALL media copied thru Vista is SERIOUSLY degraded. The mp3s that you rip, are not allowed to be full quality. Same with DVD's.
3) Takes up too much of the already strained resources.
Personally, if XP ever goes out of support, I'm going Linux

At least 1 to 2 years' time, I suppose.
Still, you should ask yourself if the features are really worth it and if the programs you normally use, would suffer a performance hit on Vista. After all, the operating system is still new and there isn't a service pack released yet.

of course it will , 400 $ is a little too whimsical .
transperent flickering and fading out windows , a few tricks and just a little improved functionality , charm fades away most of the time.
everything drops down btw , and if xp is almost free now , someday wil be vista.
