Poll: When do you plan to upgrade to Window's vista?

[Gary D]

I thought a poll like this would be interesting as many variables have to be considered as a new computer, cost($$$), etc.

Personally, I do not even have plans yet as Windows history has shown early versions of new OS are VERY buggy.

I just want to hear other people's view on this.

@Gary D, Im with u I think Im going 2 wait awhile and c what happens.

not till there is something significantly better about vista (ie performance, convenience and function/compatibility) than linux or xp. i don't care for any of the security features or the UI (the latter can be replicated in xp and both of which can be bettered in linux)

so i'm guessing 1 to 20 years, but you never know

imho these vista delays are a good thing-- means they're learning from their mistakes and hoping to release something more secure & stable

Whenever I buy that next new system.
upgrade present system not likely..

They told me I have at least 13 years of support so I will assess then.

No Vista for me. I am happy as a pig in poop with XP. I'll hang on to XP as long as possible and then decide what to do when I can no longer use it for what I want to do.

How about our favorite programs? DVD Shrink, DVD Decrypter, RipIt4Me, PSLPlugin , DVDFabDecrypter, they work in Windows Vista? Haw anyone tested them in Vista beta versions?
To change to Vista I must know that I won`t have any problems with my programs. For the video work but for photos and other stuff too.
If DVDShrink and DVDDecrypter which are not updated anymore, don`t work well with Vista, how can we change to Vista? For me , DVD Shrink is unique and can not be replaced , even with Recode

Not me ,I havent even figured windows xp out yet.

I will update when forced to by a new pc or would consider it after much testing and reviewing is done by members here and it gets a stamp of approval from those that know far more than I do.

I am waiting for the XXX company to buy-out Microsoft, since Bill Gates is semi or completely retiring. Then, I will use the XXX company's modified operating system.

In other terms, down or out with Microsoft.

.....means they're learning from their mistakes ....

Nothing is perfect....but after 20 years and several OS changes and updates and service packs.....well...how many times does one need to learn from a mistake?!!!

WOW I didnt see there was a new one comming out. I must be living in a cave.

I personaly wouldnt bother with a new OS until it proves to be better.

I remember after win.98 SE there was Windows ME and 2000 and they both sucked.

I remembered being disappointed about buying a new computer with windows 98 SE and a month later they came out with Windoes ME, I was upset that I didnt have the latest OS.
I am now happy that I never got that one. My aunt and 2 other friends got that one back then and go rid of it as they has nothing but problems with it.

XP works for me.
