Well this is coming to you from my new Dell desktop running Vista.
Nice to see the blue text has at least gotten bigger.
It took me a mere 4 hours to unboxed it, move my old Dell off the
desk, set it up and using the improved file and setting transfer
wizard pull all my data and settings across.
Hmm, took me 10 minutes, then I clicked a button and came back an
hour later. Another 15 minutes to install Parallels and move VMs of
XP and Vista over. Call it two hours all up, max. My applications
folder and my home folder are each over 20GB.
And yes I installed Office 2003 without a single problem.
I meant to point that out - 2003 is fine on Vista, 2000 or earlier is
not - fair enough.
Now 2 weeks later I have come to grips with Vista and I love my new
22” Dell TFT. (ok so I am waiting for replacement monitor arm it
was bent slighty)
I also love my Dell monitor. They rebadge them very well.
PS: the word we are hearing from Dell is that we will be able to
order XP PC’s for quite a while yet which is good as most clinical
software won’t run on Vista yet, but then you all know that don’tyou J
MS are saying Jan 31 next year, which is faster than they've ever
discontinued an OS. OEM's were still able to buy Windows 2000 in 2005.

Whilst I am very happy to see the end of XP, I don't think Vista is a
big step forward.
