Wont buy it myself until it's been patched and/or proven. Might end up using it at work depending on where I end up working, but won't be getting it for my personal machines any time soon.

I'm fairly sure that in the future when it's patched/proven etc, Vista will replace XP as the default Windows package. Myself, I'm fine with XP for now. It's easy and it's what everyone is used to.

I am getting a couple of copies for our IT department to have a play with early next year, i played around with the RC1 (i think) beta and it was ok, buggy but nice to see something thats been a while in the making!!

I will buy it in about a year. By then M$ will have at least one service pack out for it.
Don't PM me with questions -- you might get a nasty PM in response. If you have a question then post it in one of the forums.

I, like dani will be buying it when it comes out. I am sorry I just can't deal with not getting it, it looks so shiney and new. No, I know there are gonna be bugs but it hopeful won't effect the general user to much and I really need a personal webserver for my pc.
I'll buy it when and if I buy a new computer to run Windows before a replacement becomes available.
As I don't know when and if either of those conditions will be met I can't at the moment make any predictions one way or the other.
Or to put it bluntly: I don't know

As people are clearly allowed to attack me but I'm not allowed to defend myself, I no longer post to this site.

I'm not going to buy Vista just so that I can dual-boot (or rather, triple-boot) my MacBook with Windows. I wouldn't mind tinkering around with it, although I'd certainly not want it as my main operating system.
