Thank you for expressing both your affirmation and hope. Rather than any of the denizens feel tempted and unable to treat your offering with respect, I'll close this and share that many share your hope.

I suspect that Vista will eventually be stable and be a worthy successor of XP - I just do not see it until at least a SP 1 - more likely SP 2. MS keeps adding code/hardware reqs that push the industry. The problem is that it is not necessarily needed. But a consumer paradigm does not often lead to efficiency ... :?
I have already shared that I will not upgrade until SP1 at least with any MS OS. I also recommend this course of action to any of my clients as well. This article only reinforces my hesitation and confirms that in many ways XP is really a solid OS.
