I'm not going near Vista for a while (even when I can afford it). XP is fine, I have a dual boot with the latest Ubuntu and the other slow (Celeron) computer (everyone should have a backup) runs fine on Vector (Linux).
I thought about this the other day. The only reason I have Windows is the flight simulators and add-ons that are available, other than that I'd go all Linux.
Yes, shallow, I know
My brother has a Windows machine that he bought for the same reason but he has gotten to the point where he doesn't want to turn it on. Besides, he is now an instructor for a major airline and spends a great deal of time in their simulators. He does make training films and they are all done on his MAC setup in Final Cut Pro.
A friend just bought a Windows based laptop and it came with Vista installed..... I watched him try to add upgrades to it and was amazed at how much time was wasted and how inefficient it is, reminded me of the Mac commercial with the guy behind PC asking permission to do everything PC wanted to do.

No matter where I've traveled or how great the trip was, it's always wonderful to return to my country, The United States of America......... me
