Default Have you upgraded to vista?

How many of you have actually decided to go with the all singing and all dancing new windows OS.

I haven't yet and I don't think i will for some time to come. Maybe early next year. :)

Yep, and love it, but there are plenty of bugs.

Have had lots of driver props and had to replace a few bits to get everything up and running.

Recently I had to swap to FireFox and Thunderbird 2 because IE7 and Outlook 2007 keeps crashing.

Default Have you upgraded to vista?

I have Vista installed on another drive but rarely use it.
Gaming(DX10) is all I wanted it for and to be quite honest DX10 enhanced games at the moment are useless.Any I have I usually play on XP because the performance loss on Vista is too much(and thats with a 3.45Ghz E6600 and 8800GTX).
It doesnt like some programs I use,it wont let me permanently allow some startup progams,it is a pain until you google how to turn off its constant "are you sure you want to move/copy/delete/edit etc etc nagging.
The dreamscene desktop looks cool(pity its not stable.lol)
For me it makes nothing easier and everything harder.

Have a dual boot.
Im my view microsoft tried to fix something which wasnt broken, XP is great, Vista is full of bugs and slower! - Not what i want from a new system.

XP is limited where new games are concerned, Microsoft had to bring out vista in order for the games industy to progress.

Might think about it in a year or so, for the moment XP is fine does all I want never crashes and the drivers are all available. Don't need DX10 or a flash GUI. To be honest Ive got an old 98se set up that if it was a bit more stable would do for what I need.
