Sound advice indeed Larry.

You've got a long wait for Vista in any case - at least half a year and probably longer if you believe the likes of Gartner.

It's already two years late as it is, so its certainly not unfeasible it'll slip more. A nice timeline of slippage for you.

I'm so disappointed with Vista though - it had the potential to have been something really revolutionary and innovative with some genuinely impressive features. I would certainly have bought it, despite the hardware requirements. Now all of the major features have been stripped except for a shiny 3d accelerated graphical interface which Mac and Linux users already have but without needing to buy a new computer for. It's a farce
