Carol,
Geez! I know three people that have recently bought PC with Vista, going from either XP or 2000. NONE of them had anything good to say about Vista.
In fact, all three are trying to get XP loaded on the new machines.
Also, we use XP at our church and use a software program for our stage lighting. There was a new update we were looking at and it specifically said in the notes that Vista was not compatible with the software.
If it were me, I'd wait even longer before going to Vista. I would seriously consider a Mac before Vista. No slam on Macs, since so much software is now compatible with it. Might be worth looking into.
