RE: Should i get vista?
One copy of Vista will set you back like £200. So, go onto Ebuyer.com and order three copies of XP Media Centre 2005 with Vista Upgrade Coupon for £75 a pop and then on January 30th pay £8 a copy to get the free upgrade to Home Premium, or £95 for Windows XP Professional and spend £8 a pop to Vista Business. 
That is what I am doing. |

Well, I guess Microsoft thinks lots of people will wait for SP1 and therefore they will release an SP1 of Vista soon after the public release (like 2-3 months after), so not all major bugs can be fixed. Maybe we should wait for SP2?
Well, if you're pc can take it and you can get it on a separate partition, go for it. However, I don't think installing it over XP isn't a good idea yet.

I'd wait until I get a graphics card that can handle those 15% of extra load
Even though just running it, wlm, ff, mirc, etc goes nice, just games that are a bit slow. :/ |

RE: Should i get vista?
i'll wait at least 6 months... good ol' WinXP does its work. why change to buggy software when you have a stable and almost bug-free OS?? my oppinion. and i know there are people out there which think the same. but you can do like you want. its you PC.

Don't get Vista yet...wait it out for a while when it gets released. Then look at what people who upgraded think etc., also take notice that not all your software will work on Vista..same for drivers (there might not even be Vista drivers for some stuff yet).
