Have you moved to Vista yet?
So Sp1 is now on automatic updates, and its been available elsewhere for a while. Have you made the move from XP yet?

It's been a month already using Vista with quite a good experience but I'm actually thinking on moving back to XP 'cause of some compatibility issues, I'm waiting for SP3 first impressions.

I'm dual booting... XP Pro 32-bit and Vista Business 64-bit, but I usually use XP so I voted No. I have Vista and use Vista, but I haven't really moved to Vista and I doubt I will anytime soon.

Used Vista Home Premium 32-bit since launch and within the last fortnight moved to home premium 64-bit. Barely had a problem since day one and can hand on heart say XP caused me more problems.

On a separate note I now see that the top 3dmark 06 record is set on a vista system.

Voted moving to Vista in the next three months. XP stays on the Athlon 1.2 system. Vista Ultimate (32 or 64 bit, with Ubuntu 64 bit I think...) on the new machine.

Still using XP SP2. Will probably go to Vista when I build a new machine, but that might not happen for a while. In fact I might just wait until whatever comes after Vista, "Windows 7" or whatever the codename is... when is that- 2010(ish)?? Who knows.

I'm running a multi-boot system with XP Pro SP3, XP Pro x64, and Vista Ultimate 64. I'll soon be adding Server 2008 Beta.

I am having a bit of a problem with both 64 bit OS's, but that has only surfaced when I went to 8GB of RAM. With 4GB, all of them are rock solid.

I prefer Vista to either of the XP versions.

I just bought the A305 Toshiba with Vista Premium, do you think moving to a 64 bit version is necessary?
