For a Home computer, it's really neither here nor there. If you get it for free and pre-installed, then great. Grab even free offered upgrade versions just to have the license code (what would cost you later a few hundred dollars after it's patched). I've heard and seen situations were entire networks were rendered useless because Vista was not compatible with almost anything. Laptops that couldn't install it because things as primary to the operation as battery management software/drivers were not compatible with Vista. Just one thing after the other.When you have XP available (say what you will, it works and is way more stable currently), there is no reason to choose a broken, incompatible platform instead just so your desktop will look like a Mac's desktop(!). Vista SP1, maybe even SP2, I'll bother checking in then.To give reference, my company is a Certified Microsoft Partner. I am one of the MS-certified professionals that has their certifications linked to that partnership to apply for it (you have to have X number of cert holding people to qualify at all). I've gotten at least three versions of Beta and release of all the programs. It's not a surprise to me that it sucks so much. I do not recommend it professionally and will not for *at least* six months.</blockquote>
