A bit OT, but I guess still related, given we’re discussing new software versions screwing up our machines, so rather than start a new thread………….

What’s the general consensus with Vista vs XP ???

I’m thinking of changing my laptop, but have been told that from Jan ’07 or even as early as mid Dec ’06 PC’s will be shipping with Vista.

Now this makes me somewhat nervous, as XP is really the first windows version that I’ve actually got on with & find stable……being a MAC man at heart, myself & previous Windows had a tumultuous relationship at best.

So I’m really wondering if the XP devil I know, is better than the Vista devil I don’t know & perhaps I should get my laptop pre Vista. I really don’t want to be a guinea pig, de-bugging Vista for MS.

Of course we should not forget the inevitable discounts that might pop up on XP machines in the coming few months.

Any thoughts ………???
