Wow .... what an interesting thread.

I'm of the "if it ain't broke, I'm not going to try to fix it, much less buy a new one" school of thought.

All my programs are running just fine on my current system (XP), so I will not be switching to Vista (or whatever comes after Vista) until that situation changes.

By then, I hope all the bugs are worked out and everything I need to run ... runs.

As for Mac?  No thanks .... not that it's not a lovely machine and all, but I'm the sort of person that likes to build my machines from parts.  I like to pick out my case, add a ton of RAM and storage and overclock the bugger.  Everytime I talk to someone at the Apple Store (where I go for my iPod stuff), they point out that you can't just go purchase "parts" and start modding a Mac.

Now, if there ever change that approach .... I might just think about it.

Could be worse, could be raining.
