They tested a beta service pack. Vista is much more secure than Windows XP. Its so new hackers have yet to write malware for it.

Funny that, because they are beginning to hit my bench with viruses on board... I guess it could just be backward compatibility... no, wait... can't be that... it's Vista :P

Let the hackers devote their time to hacking Vista. I think xp is just fine and have no intentions of upgrading.
My big concern is that the number of applications that no longer work with Vista. Also I hear of printer drivers etc that no longer work.
Installing Vista probably means less performance overall, plus none of the printer fax scan peripherals are guaranteed to continue working.

Just say no to Vista.
