I installed three copies on my three home computers and it went perfectly. Now upgraded. I must say that I never had that much of an issue with Vista but I wanted to keep current. It will probably be a huge success although it will have to be adapted to the large number of netbooks on the market. Most of these come with XP and this is not a direct upgrade.

Vista had quite few device driver/app compatibility issues when it first came out. However, SP1 and SP2 pretty much fixed the issues.

Most netbooks are going to continue to come with XP for the next 12 months at least, because MSFT charges only $15 to OEM’s for XP on a netbook, but then wants to charge higher for Win 7, which netbook makers are not ready to pay for netbooks that they sell so cheaply.
