But give Vista (ultimate) a chance. You will not regret it.

I advice everybody to have at least two computers, one with Vista (ultimate if possible) and the other with XP.

Work with XP as long as you are not eloquent with Vista for your daily important activities but take as much time as you could possibly muster to get acquainted with Vista. There are great features and you will come to like it.

When one day you are really eloquent on Vista you might gradually migrate your activities to Vista and one day work solely with Vista, maybe not today and not tomorrow, but the day will come.

Each time there was a migration we heard the same complaints and only in one case the complaints were justified: Millennium which in my humble opinion was a flop.

I would like to look at your opinion dear friends in say one year from now. Meanwhile, give Vista a chance.

Good luck and warm regards from an old man (72) who will try Vista with a new computer.

PS The new computer is the following ACER model:

Unfortunately this computer cannot be bought in USA, only in Europe. I have to change the keyboard to US or UK since I am used to the English keyobard, but look at this dream laptop computer:
