I've been reading these discussions on Vista because it's time for me to replace my old desktop. There have been enough issues with Vista compatibility that I've been leaning towards getting a system with XP. Since I hold on to computers for more than two years, it appears I'll be better off skipping Vista as an operating system.

I'll never understand why it is so hard for MS to be backwards compatible.  When will they understand that we only need a stable operating system that lets us use our applications?
