Is it worth getting Vista?

With all the problems I have heard with backwards integration with Vista, I am afraid to install it - was it worth the upgrade for you?

I wouldn't install it if I was paid too. I'm sticking with good old reliable XP.

Why change from xp? Maybe when they come out with a new vista you can pick up the old one and then it may work.

Microsoft software ain't good until SP1
Windows XP is so stable now just because it's already SP2 + lots of hotfixes...
There are folks still enjoying Windows 2000 — it already has SP4 ))
Be patient, dude

Re: Is it worth getting Vista?

I am using Vista. There is no problem as long as the Vista PC is not joined to domain network. Windows Vista has some additional tools and accessories and improved user interface. To get it working for you is a matter of setting a few options of preferences. It is quicker and more reliable than XP. There is no common use application that is not working on it. Beginning of 2008 the first service pack will be released. There are some improvements too.

Re: Is it worth getting Vista?

I just worked on it over the holidays for my father who is having all types of problems with it. In particular setting up the pc for external hardware. However in the next year or so it should become more stable.
