i have vista on laptop, and i tried to install/run my older games, and there are problems... most of the games will not get any updates/patches anymore despite being made after 2000
i just wait until i "have to" switch to vista... hopefully by then the ultimate version has its hefty price dropped a bit! im not the type of user who can suffice to home version OS!!

What OS do you use?
i use vista, and i have yet to have a single problem. well, actually there is only one, small insignificant problem that ive continued to lead my life normally afterwards, but it didnt allow my external soundcard, which was an old version, to work, the drivers werent compatable. but then a few months later they fixed the problem, but i had already used another card, the one that actually came stock on the system works perfect. I like it, it is really cool looking, and once you disable the security checks for everytime you try to open a program it is fine, and that involves unclicking one checkbox in the security center.

flyingimam, you won't be forced to switch to vista. microsoft will stop supporting vista when the new windows (windows 7) comes out. the beta is supposed to be out in december. once again, got to love microsoft. microsoft has a system they use to where they only support the current and prior generation os. well i guess that's like being forced to switch, my bad.
i am currently using vista on a laptop. i actually like it better than xp, all except the game issues obviously and a few stability issues. i've been messing around with some of the *nix flavors. i can't decide which way i way to go yet. a lot of the wireless driver stuff is a pain in the butt too!
apparently HP is working on a linux distro for it's new touchsmart line. from what i've been reading could help put a crack where the chink in it's armor. should be interesting. not to mention apple is starting to gain more market share. i'd buy a mac if they weren't so damn overpriced. the OS is great but them controlling the hardware really sucks. i've played with some of the osX86 versions out there and they are still very buggy not to mention the drivers will drive you insane. i think apple will eventually release osX as a stand alone OS. that would rock! but who knows....
