To Alex's point... I have also lost respect because the new file system was left out which was to be based off of SQL, and the other ones...

They can say security will be better, yatty yaatta yaa, all they want. It's the same argument for OS X, the security is only better because there is less end users to target.

Now I for one have always believed the best OS is the one with the most support. I used and loved all of MS's previous OSes for that reason. But I see no reason to upgrade from XP x64. It's rock solid and with support and a host of syware and anti-virus apps, I dont see the need to pay all that money for a 3d UI and improved built in search feature. You can download WMP 11 and IE7 and I did and removed them cause they are garbage anyhow. I'll stick with WMP 9 and firefox thank you. Security wise, XP will have a nice long ride of continued support and I will stick with it.

What are my plans for my next OS? Who knows. I think my next move is towards open source.

Vista's biggest flaw in my opinion, is it's DRM infected. I don't need that. I consider that a security risk more than all the patches you go through with XP.
