then again, i haven’t seen any complaints about leopard so that makes me wonder…

In fact, I've gotten so used to the bells and whistles of how it looks that XP just looks plain ugly to me now. Other than that, I find both operating systems to be about the same. I can run anything I want on Vista and have never had a compatibility problem (I don't know what everyone else is complaining about it). It helps being a tech savvy person so you know where to go to tweak your system. I removed most of the unnecessary features and am left with a pretty fast system. Not as fast as XP, but not noticeably slower. I’ve had Vista for a while now and have no complains.

It's much more stable, and you'd be surprised at how many applications run compatibly on it :) By the way, I got the idea from this comment here, great post: http://dotnet.org.za/codingsanity/archive/2007/12/14/review-windows-xp.aspx I tried Vista briefly, but ever since I upgraded to XP I haven’t looked back.

Either "apt-get -d upgrade" (I think) or use a distro with a rolling release cycle. Long Live Linux! Use Linux! Either “apt-get -d upgrade” (I think) or use a distro with a rolling release cycle.

I haven't had too many problems, but I haven't dug too deep into it yet.
