Don't get excited by Vista. I'm testing a beta version at work - it's exactly the same as XP. Just a few cosmetic changes. I wouldn't pay an extra fiver for it if you've already got XP.

Yeah I am also testing a beta version and the only major changes are cosmetic. You are goign to have to wait longer than three months for the bugs to resolved, I am expecting something in the region of 7-10 months. Although there are a number of features that have still yet to be included with the most recently build of the beta version. Microsoft have also stated that they will include update downloads for windows xp which will allow you to have the new functions included. So the need to wait for vista is pretty limited really.

So get a copy of Win 98 from Ebay and use that as the base to upgrade from. Probably cost you another £15-£20 on top.

Yup, a big fuss over nothing. Mind you, it will be loads more money for Microsoft so it's a big deal for them.
