Most probably, I'll wait a while after release though, until staying with XP is too much of a pain. I didn't get onto XP until a couple of years ago, had been using 2K since it's release before that.

Not overly impressed yet, I'll wait at least a year for the majority of the major bugs to be ironed out.

good advice, I normally do the same with a new MS OS. keep the older OS on a work rig and build a cheap ass little thing to play around with the new OS.

Will jump on the bloat after 6 months or so. Waiting to see how the gaming part of it pans out.

Same here. Actually, I'm using Linux mostly, and XP is just fine for gaming.

Cons
I'm playing games and using programs. The OS is supposed to be something transparent.
Right now, XP is just fine and I'm not keen about purchasing a new OS especially when I would probably need to upgrade the hardware as well.
Pro
On the other hand, I know that sooner or later I won't have a choice cos I won't be able to find a proper driver for the new thing I just purchased. This is the usual trap with new OS.
Eventually, for professionnal purposes, it is always good to be up to date.

I read earlier that vista is going to us 800 mb of memory so that's a minus even before we get going !

I'll wait. I'm pretty slow when it comes to changing my primary OS (still using Win2k). I'll probably make a dual boot configuration if the OS is available through MSDNAA, but I'm not expecting much from it.
