hehe As i'll never need a dx10 card (as i only play on emulators), i wont need to "upgrade" to vista (lucky me) The shame is that some people who use 2k/xp/2k3 buy it, thinking its an upgrade. It would be so nice to see people boycot it (sure, for new pc's, we cant do anything). I needed to switch from 98 to nt5 kernel, because of stability, now i dont NEED to switch anymore, but i'll HAVE to at some point, and thats a shame. Still, i'll use xp for many years to come. Now, if only FL studio worked on linux....
