Perfectly happy with XP, haven't had the urge for Vista and never will. Will update to 7 near the middle of its life if it looks like it is worth it.

assumption is the mother of all f**k ups

So, by logic, I assume that all my XP software that doesn't work on Vista would then work on Windows 7? That would be a neat trick. Imagine an OS that's backwards compatible. Would allow me to upgrade and keep my current software until they make a proper W7 upgrade

MS lost my trust when my brand new PC running on Vista wouldnt stop crashing

just get a mac you won't be disappointed, i got mine MBP more than an year ago, and it never crashed, and you can run windows as a virtual machine or with BootCamp so if the only concern is the price then let me tell you it is worth. by the way there will be a new mac OS X coming so for mac "Snow leopard" which will be Huge.

Windows XP doesn't grow on trees . It's superior on the fact you only need Windows 7 with licence instead of Vista license+XP license to run all your old stuff.

At this time, Microsoft is claiming that XPM provides near perfect Windows XP compatibility within Windows 7.

This should be translated as: "Currently it sucks, but maybe you will get a patch with the first Service Pack"

In the context of upgrading from Windows XP this brings nothing because you already own an XP license, and that's where the thread started.
