My group has three people who couldn't care less what we play, as long as they ave fun doing it - though they have different ideas about what things are fun. They are all willing to buy at least a PHB and give the game a try, though if they don't like it then we might well end up playing some of the other games we've got.
We have one player who is reluctant to change because he's mean with money. If the SRD was available online then he'd use that rather than spend money - the only reason he has a PHB is because we gave him one for Xmas one year.
We have one player who loves FR, and is actually looking forward to the changes to the setting. Since he also DMs our FR games if we play in FR then we'll play 4th Edition.
One player wants to play 4th edition as soon as possible. She really likes the SWSE edition rules, and most of the things that have appeared in the previews. Since she DMs games in a homebrew setting, she isn't worried at all about the flavour changes.
I also DM games in the same homebrew setting. I want to see the rules in action before making a final decision on switching permanently, but I'm hopeful about many aspects of them.
