I'm currently on XP Pro, but I'm thinking of going the Linux route on my next laptop. Since Vista is not an option.

And in the interest of "full disclosure"...I have "decided" to Go MAC but have not as of yet consummated the marriage. A stronger desire to upgrade my photography equipment to Canon EOS (pro digital) prevailed so I'll be putting off the iMAC purchase off until late January. But never-the-less, minor delay or not, I do absolutely intend to move to MAC. I will keep my Windows equipment so I can cross-check, browser-check, etc. The big dilemma that I don't have a clear answer on though is similar to your question of SQL, is all the "other software" I'm going to have to re-purchase. I did get a great recommendation for NeoOffice (http://www.neooffice.org/neojava/en/features.php). This will at least cover the Microsoft Office Suite stuff. And CF Eclipse is also available for MAC. Whatever you do best wishes. I try to always follow Yogi Bera's sage advise: When I come to a fork in the road... ...I take it.

I am going to buy a new notebook before Dec. 31 or at least try to get the order in before year end in order to spend the money before the 2007 tax year ends (for a write off). I was debating with myself as to what OS to get (XP or Vista). I currently use XP Pro. These are my questions if anyone has any feedback or wants to discuss: 1. Should I stay with XP Pro instead of moving to Vista? 2. Are there issues with using Adobe products like CF, DW, or other tools with Vista. 3. If I move to Vista is there a particular version I need to do CF work (home, pro, etc.) 4. If I stay with XP, do I really need the Pro version to do CF work? Any thoughts are appreciated.
