Hello Limerick,

Here`s another opinion for you.
I`m interested in Vista too and have just bought a new machine capable of running it to full advantage.
However I`m not going to buy it when it first comes out for the reasons you stated. Hopefully I won`t have to wait as long as a year, but I`ll be keeping watch until I think any glitches have been ironed out.

If there are any problems with Vista I`m sure we will hear about them pretty soon, so you will just have to weigh them up against any special offers from MS
