    I'd wait at least 6 months before buying, to get rid of the bugs...

    spectre, I have noticed one thing and one thing only: you continualy talk about things which you know little of.

    It said it didn't have support for older DVD drives which rely on early software, not DVDs. Lack of hardware support is typical to all new OS releases, and the lack of the ability to use an old DVD drive from '95 is hardly an issue to me.

    I agree I am in no rush to switch from XP, I will wait at least a year or so before switching. I can imagine the first couple of months is going to constant patches and updates.

    I will never get Vista because:
    A: I can get the same GUI using themes on XP
    B: It uses way too much RAM

    I'm getting a Mac soon, so that's another reason! :D :
