Why is everyone so afraid of Vista? You would think this isn't a community of extremely savvy users. Everybody's so dramatic.

I agree.  It's like a bunch of Lemmings following each other off a cliff. 

Step 1: Buy Vista
Step 2: Search for Software & Drivers
Step 3: Install New Software & Drivers
Step 4: Have a Cocktail in Hand While Doing This and Have Fun!

I think it'll be coming to the windows updater in a week or so. Though I've not heard anything definite. Once it's in the updater, we'll be using it. Provided there aren't any major known issues with it.

I believe Microsoft has stated before that Vista SP1 won't be going retail until February of 2008.
The only thing that keeps me wishing on a wishing star.

Don't forget to add:
 
Step 5: realize your perfectly good (but a few years old) hardware isn't supported by Vista - go out and buy new fax/scanner/printer
Step 6: realize that most programs will run 10-15% slower (at least) on Vista compared to XP.
 
Also, keep in mind that a vast, vast, vast majority of Service Pack 1 for Vista has been released as the normal updates.  SP1 will just roll them all in one for the people who don't update regularly.
 
Disclaimer - I have 4 machines right now, including one with Vista Home premium.  I use Vista, and it has no wow factor to make it worthwhile to upgrade from XP.  With Windows 7 just 2-3 years away, Vista isn't the "future".

Heh. You forgot a bunch of steps in there.
 
You forgot to fight with Vista to get it to realize it is in fact connected to the internet,so you can start that download to begin with. You forgot to spend some quality time trying to explain to Vista that while *it* may not trust a program enough to allow it to launch at startup *you* do (henceforth to be known as the pre-starting -to-startup). You forgot to plead with Vista  once it does allow a program past the pre-start-starting-up phase to actually allow the program to proceed to the starting-to-startup. You forgot to remind Vista that it was in fact you that wanted the program to start. By the time the program actually does start, you may have forgotten why you wanted it to start in the first place LOL.
 
There's more, much, much more, but I've had enough fun at Vista's expense for one evening. Tongue
 
Besides. I remember XP pre SP 1, and I will say this for Vista. I had a heck of alot more unexplained crashes and system freezes on XP than I have had on Vista so far, by a long shot.

Can't say I have any of your problems fellas.  Vista works great for me.  I guess I'm glad I'm me, and you're you.

Runs fine for me too.
Did have the printer issue, HP1100, but I consider that a HP kick to my balls then Vista. HP should deliever a basic driver for the OS.
Went out and got a Canon thats been working great.
