I'm running Vista because my PC died and my IT guy stopped buying XP
because MS "end of lifed it". Some people haven't actually voted but have
felt that there was no choice.

So far I haven't seen much advantage and I've
had some issues. I'm a developer and VS2003 is no longer supported, for
example. In all, I would have been happier just installing my ghosted XP on
a new
box. I'm probably not a typical Vista desktop user and I still run XP sp2
at home.

I'm wondering how many Vista users are in this position and how they'll
react
if MS now decides to keep supporting XP after previously announcing its
death.
