From what I've read, and from my perspective, we engineers
should avoid Vista at all costs, while we can. Several of
my co-workers have rushed to purchase new laptops, etc.,
now, while they still come with Windows XP. I've purchased
multiple copies of Windows XP operating systems in the box.

Then you might like to know that MS just extended support for Windows XP
to 2014.

For the wary you could always read from:

microsoft.public.windows.vista.installation_setup

Some of it is quite hilarious. Some of the things that MVP's have said
about vista has cost them their status as MVP.

I had a quick peek.

Is it true as an MVP seems to be saying that you can't upgrade an OEM
installation of XP ?
