Upgrading an existing machine seems to be the source of most frustration.
I think the migration is much easier if you buy a machine with it preinstalled
and add it to a running network. Even if the "network" is only one other
machine with a router. Then if the apps you need aren't compatible you
can still run 'em on the XP machine until Vista versions of the apps come out.
I agree on the stability. As long as you don't disable the wrong service you
should be okay. I think they created a lot of unnecessary hostility when
they shuffled the settings around in Control Panel. Nobody enjoys hunting
for hidden check boxes when stuff is broken.
