I think Vista will roll out far faster than we would like. Many PC manufacturers are providing Vista now, unless you want a very expensive business class PC, where you can still get XP for a while. A friend of mine lost his PC the other weekend, had been using XP home (light duty stuff). All he saw for new PCs at the major retail stores is Vista this and Vista that. Some XP Media PCs are still on the market, but they are pretty expensive relative to what his needs are. Now, if M$ were to do as the Blu-Ray (and in decades past VHS vs BetaMax) folks are supposedly doing, and try to edge into the benefits of Vista to the porn industry we are all dead <g>!
