I don't know about "wasted money" for Vista. Even though I have advised my clients to hold off on any Vista upgrades (if they are running 2000 or XP there is no technical need to migrate anyway IMHO), and to resist getting new PCs if they are provided with Vista (opting for XP). Yet I went ahead and installed Vista Ultimate (MSDN) on a dual boot PC, just to get a flavor for its antics. Before that I turned my intern (Mike Wohlrab, who posts to ProFox once in a while) loose on the beta version to help identify the "hidden rocks in shallow water" for me. I am not at all impressed with Vista, but the reality is I have to be prepared to deal with it, as eventually I will come across a client has to deal with it. Sure, My Vista Ultimate license was "free" (no additional cost) with my MSDN subscription. But it still took me otherwise billable time to set it up, and work through its quirks (that is an ongoing process). So, in considering how much potential income I gave up it still cost me a substantial amount of investment. I would be all the more irritated had I invested a separate amount for a Vista license - but I would have felt it was worth it to get a feel for it in anticipation of client calls and issues.
