One of these days Dell is going to send me the Vista disc and I'm looking
forward...
I realize when things go well, usually not many comments are made and when
things go bad... lots of comments.
So are there nice simple success stories to report on loading vista over
xp..

I have installed Beta 2, RC1, RC2, and OEM on my current hardware. In every
case, the installation was fast and easy and went as expected. I have no
hardware compatibility issues. All of the software that I use was ready to
use in Vista by the launch date though one update is still beta, it does
work.

Yeah I haven't got my disk despite the fact I sent it out in November.
Welcome to the wonderful world of rebates, don't you just love it? THIS is
the reason why I generally refuse to buy sale items by rebate, its a hassle
to get what you're owed.

I will say this though, the hold up is with Microsoft. Dell's customer
support is crap but I don't think Microsoft sent out the OEM disks on time
and in enough of a supply.
I'm having the same problem with Gateway, which says they'll get the disks
by the end of next week, which means I should get Vista the following week.

Depends on your software/hardware... no one can guarantee that it's, meaning
Vista and your existing SW/HW, going to work 100%
