    So Sp1 is now on automatic updates, and its been available elsewhere for a while. Have you made the move from XP yet?

    It's been a month already using Vista with quite a good experience but I'm actually thinking on moving back to XP 'cause of some compatibility issues, I'm waiting for SP3 first impressions.

    been on vista for a good while now, using Ultimate 32bit.
    gotta say ive not had ANY compatibility issues at all driver wise, or software to be honest.
    once u disable the stuff that blocks most of it, its a crackin OS

    I'm dual booting... XP Pro 32-bit and Vista Business 64-bit, but I usually use XP so I voted No. I have Vista and use Vista, but I haven't really moved to Vista and I doubt I will anytime soon.

    Used Vista Home Premium 32-bit since launch and within the last fortnight moved to home premium 64-bit. Barely had a problem since day one and can hand on heart say XP caused me more problems.

    On a separate note I now see that the top 3dmark 06 record is set on a vista system.

    Have XP running on several machines, Vista X64 on the others.

    Vista x64 is superior in almost all regards. I will keep saying it till im blue in the face.

    I've got XP on some boxes, but I have bought some new PCs and they all had Vista on them.

    Voted moving to Vista in the next three months. XP stays on the Athlon 1.2 system. Vista Ultimate (32 or 64 bit, with Ubuntu 64 bit I think...) on the new machine.

    Still using XP SP2. Will probably go to Vista when I build a new machine, but that might not happen for a while. In fact I might just wait until whatever comes after Vista, "Windows 7" or whatever the codename is... when is that- 2010(ish)?? Who knows.

    I'm running a multi-boot system with XP Pro SP3, XP Pro x64, and Vista Ultimate 64. I'll soon be adding Server 2008 Beta.

    I am having a bit of a problem with both 64 bit OS's, but that has only surfaced when I went to 8GB of RAM. With 4GB, all of them are rock solid.

    I prefer Vista to either of the XP versions.
