Okay, heres the deal. I am getting a new dvd re-writter for xmas (hopefully) and i was thinking about getting windows vista. However, a thought came to mind. i have 3 other PC's in my home (used by my brother and my mum) and the product code for my computer was used for theirs as well (they didn't wanna pay for it themselves ) and if i install  vista, i can't go back to xp without paying for it again/ breaking the law.
So i want to know if in this situation i should get vista or not?

Thanks.

well, if your system can afford it yes
but still vista has bugs in:
file sharing
erasing files
installing programs
but omfg VISTA AERO ROCKS
or you can make a partition and install Vista to have both them, XP & Vista

Vista is final, how will there be bugs, there will be un noticable ones yes, big bugs no.

Vista works fine for me only one bug with wireless, and would work fine for anyone with 1GB ram, a decent processor, and a good graphics card that is WDM compatiable.

"Microsoft's internal processes required Vista's bug count to drop to 500 or fewer before the product could go into escrow for RTM."

Personally, I'd wait for Service Pack 1 before installing Vista...

Well, vista is a great operating system but with a lack of new features, i would get it when, we really know how good the release is (look at public reviews and such) see what the say about it, if its good get it! if its bad dont get it, i would get windows vista premium (or something like that).

Hope it helps
