LOL, Nope, not tempted.

I am running Windows XP Pro on my BIAB / workstation system. I see no reason to move beyond that. I run Vista on my development laptop as well as on my one Media Center PC. Both are rather a PITA to do stuff on. Constant barrage of issues from "can't see anything but the other Vista machines" to the steady stream of security crap.

I have nine PCs on my home / home office network, and the most stable by far are the Windows 2003 machines, both X32 (Windows Home Server) and X64 (two SQL Server 2005 servers). After that the four XP Pro systems are the easiest / most stable. Trailing far behind are the two Vista machines.

I used Vista for the Windows Media Center machine because WMC is built in to Vista, and it was in fact "plug and play" to get my TV tuner working etc. But it is still a PITA.

I put Vista on my Development machine first "because my clients were slowly going there" and so I use a Vista machine every day, but I still (two years later) HATE it! It is the most OBTUSE user interface I have seen since leaving DOS back in the 90s.

So nope, not tempted.

I will let the first service pack come and go (and get fixed - oh yea, that will be SP2) and then I will likely give it a go.
