I have applications that do not run well on Vista if at all, and I use these applications to earn money. Vista’s out for me if I wish to continue use of some critical tools.

Vista is fine if you have or buy current applications.

I agree. My clients and I use a lot of specialty programs and legacy apps that Vista won’t even install! MSFT makes it so even old versions of their Microsoft Access code can’t even be converted to newer versions - it is only partly backwards compatible! I use my Mac for everything that doesn’t require a specialty program. I won’t corrupt my Mac by having Windows software on it.

That's my situation. When my old laptop died last summer, I had to buy a Mac & Parallels to keep XP so I can continue to use my VPN software.
