Microsoft says this on its Website:

Wondering if you should buy a new PC or wait for Windows Vista (which will be broadly available January 30, 2007)? We can tell you: The time to buy is now!

Will try to avoid it as long as I can for various reasons.

It will only happen if we get a new computer. I hear it doesn't run well on any machine that over 2 months old.

When something useful that only works on Vista comes around...

There's no need to upgrade so soon, the new features are not "must-haves", only "may-wants". Not to mention, I heard that Vista is a killer on your memory, so waiting to upgrade until I purchase my next computer will reduce my overall upgrade costs because I would have to buy new memory to support the new features.

It's amazing to me that Windows still has such a strangle hold on the personal computing industry. I've gotten so sick of dealing with the hassle of Windows that I now recommend the people just get a mac for their next computer. I myself will probably be sticking to linux for the forseable future.

Did you always recommend Mac? Did you recommend Macs before Mac OS X? Do you think that MSFT cannot change or offer something good with their 8 millions lines of code?

Only when I can no longer find support for the XP installs at the house, I can not find a viable Mac and there are no linux distros that I get set up for my family to use. Linux is getting closer to a clean desktop environment. Within two years there will be desktop enviroments that are usable by households. I can't wait to be free from uncle bill. Mac is a truly inviting household environment with the exception of cost.

I don't like upgrading software. Windows XP works fine for me. My wife says I just don't like change... I don't like spending time installing software! Though, I've heard great things about Vista.
