Microsoft said it expects to release Service Pack 3 for Windows XP, XP will still be the primary OS for a couple of years at least.

FWIW, I don’t know of anybody that’s had even close to a “good” experience with Vista.
Methinks copies of XP will be for sale for a long time :)

Analysts have said Vista seems more reliable out of the box than past versions of Windows, and that businesses need not wait for the service pack.Which "analysts" are those?

I picked up a new machine with Vista in March. Absolutely love it. Unbelievably stable. The only issue (and there have been quite a few) is not with Vista itself, but drivers and software compatibility. It’s getting better, but I think I would have waited a little longer had I known some of the issues I’d have.

If I were Microsoft, I’d put more gaming-specific fixes in this update and make sure gamers know about it. New APIs and a vague promise of more support for newer graphics cards isn’t going to excite gamers who are seeing their speed drop by as much as a third when playing under Vista.

My Vista Ultimate on Duo Core runs rings around my other systems running XP SP2. I love Vista.
Just as with XP, Win2K, Win98, etc it is always better to go with a clean machine and avoid the upgrade route which usually leads to frustration. Also upgrading a system with 3 year old hardware or more is just asking for trouble.

Microsoft reminds me a lot of my employer. Never time to do it right the first time, but there’s always time (and money) to fix it later.

A beta release of SP1 when Vista is hardly out of beta itself.

There are a lot more pro-Vista comments on this thread than in previous ones. I’ll need some new computers in the next 6 months (I’ll probably end up replacing all the primary computers at my small company) and was planning to use XP Pro licenses, but it sounds like maybe I should seriously consider Vista also, especially if SP1 is released before I need to buy anything. Is there a learning curve for Vista in a small networked office environment for someone coming from XP/2K/98/95/3.1/DOS/etc.?

Microsoft said it also fixed some problems users had with putting their PCs to sleep and waking them up again. ROFLOL!
Microsoft has always had trouble with that! I had some hopes that they had since moved on to bigger and better issues, but they just can't seem to dig out of the technological hole they're in.
