Are you going to install vista now?

I have XP and I'm sticking with that until I see just how well Vista works out. I figure a few months.

Right now I have Vista installed on a spare hard drive. I just swap the drives back and forth when I need to.

I've tested it on a secondary PC, but I won't put it on my primary for a few months. Waiting for a crack, bugs, all that...

On a side note:

Is there an upgrade version floating about yet? (from XP of course)

Once I do install it on my current PC, should I use the 32 or 64 version?

Just insert your Vista DVD while in Windows:

Click on Install Now ->

I recommend that you stick with the 32 bit version.

Thanks. Looks to be some useful info here as well.

The above article is certainly advocating the use of x64 if you can run it. It does state that your limitations will only be in the software you use, as some have problems running on an x64 system.

Perhaps I'll do a dual-boot.

I've installed it on my main desktop and it runs Grabit and FM2007, it looks pretty and it networks to my other computers with no problems. So it can stay for now.

It takes at least 2 years for them to iron out the teething problems, every time.

Luckily, there's plenty of people out there willing to be beta testers

I doubt I will, Id rather keep my legit copy of XP media center for the time being.

I've installed Vista Ultimate... it's nice but I'll stick back to XP for now... it isn't the time yet, altough many programs are being updated with compatibility fixes for Vista, it's for RC1 or RC2, so the final leaked version it's still a no no, at least until the final Vista will be officially released.

Vista on my laptop, XP on my desktop. I only use my laptop for documents and mobile internet access so it allows me to get use to the vista feel while not pissing me off in compatibility (games, etc.)
