Doubtful. At least for me. I really have no plans to convert (or 'upgrade') to Vista regardless as to whether or not they release SP1 for it.

I've said it and I'll say it again. It has to do with Compatibility.

Ahh, as I mentioned in the original post, Mary Jane Foley is still keeping on top of M$'s WinXP SP3 development.

What concerns me, because MS is such a unscrupulous company, is that they are releasing hotfixes that are meant to cripple XP and insert bugs to get people fed up and purchase Vista. I myself have noticed that the more criticals I install the less stable and more problematic my system becomes. As soon as I reformat and reinstall, the system runs smoothly on SP2 only but after visiting the update site, wham, the instability is back. God I hate that company.

This is sort of taken out of context, but check it out: "Microsoft is announcing that Windows Vista supports this protocol today and Windows Server® 2008 and Windows XP Service Pack 3 (SP3) will support it [the Juniper UAC solution/Networks Infranet Controller, if you must know] as well later this year."

A closer look at the press release: "Customers running Windows Vista or Windows XP SP3 will be able to easily realize the benefits of a Juniper UAC deployment without requiring the need to deploy additional client software."
