Hi, new here and first post - what a place for it
When XP first came out, oh the outrage! Exactly the same problems as now with Vista, more or less. No drivers available for scanners (for example) that worked in 98 - which were never supported for XP in the end. You needed to buy a new scanner if you wanted the problem solved. XP was horrid until SP1, and then SP2 changed everything. Oh, SP3 just came out this week too (until MS released they made an error and have now pulled it until it's fixed)... there is always *something* wrong somewhere
...and so we see how what goes around comes around. XP obviously is the best thing since sliced bread to some, and so Vista will go exactly the same way.
My advice is ask yourself why you are going to Vista. If there is no real good reason, then stick with XP. Vista can be better, but maybe not yet for a lot of people.
EDIT:
Oh, you might want to wait 'til 2009 when the next version of Windows will be out. Traditionally it's always the every second version of Windows that is actually good!
