Was browsing the Tech journals in the Dr's office the other day. Seems that Windows Workstation 2008 is a very good alternative to Vista. Actually works cleanly. We faced this issue with Windows 98, etc when they were very buggy, and went to NT. Same thing today. It's a bit more expensive, but if the sucker works, it'll keep you from having to buy a wig from pulling your hair out.

No warranties implied. Just my opinion.
 
I've heard rumors that MS is not planning any major upgrades to Vista and the next MS OS is planned for 2010. I haven't verified this, heard it thru the underground.

Due to the issues with Vista and the not too distant 2010, I may skip Vista and wait for the 2010 OS if the rumor is true.

bueno suerto.
 
I'll install Vista when they drag my guns.... errr ....WinXP.... from my cold, dead body.

This is NOT a true option. Workstation 2008 is Server 2008 with add ons. If you think Vista is high dollar, just look at the price for Server.

Price starts around $700 for Server 2008
