Stay on XP... Do you have a need to upgrade? Something not working? Or
you want your PC to look more like a MAC?
Next time you buy a PC it will be W7.
MS is not far from me, about 90K employee's and 80K contractors. All
those foreign workers need to pay local taxes and keep the price of
housing up.

I may sound like a conspiracy theorist (and I am), but it could be said
that MS may have pulled off a great marketing scheme (rip-off) with
VISTA?
Let's face it, most folks (like me) never upgrade their OS until they
buy a new PC, but now, it's very likely that folks (including me) will
buy W7 just because VISTA gives me/us grief, and thus, MS will sell a
lot of upgrades through the more profitable retail channels rather than
through PC maker's hardware sales.
My son's laptop came with a free (so they say) upgrade to W7, but my
laptop and my desktop PC are older, and I have to pay for the upgrade.
Just a thought...
