Migrated to linux long back. Tried Vista to see how it is. Nice improvement but doesn't give me the flexibility I love linux for.
And yeah MS should really dump that UAC for something different. It's so irritating that people will eventually switch it off, so it's final effect will be nullified.

I bought XP now because its only now that it has become buyable. As for Vista I will never buy it coz by the next World Cup, ReactOS would have matured enough to suit my needs.

Since Vista has some compatibility issues, I am planning to stick with
Windows XP and would consider changing to Vista once Service Pack 1 is ready

The fourth option should be similar to the third option, i.e. 'Switch to Mac/I already use Mac'. And it is spelled 'Mac', not 'MAC'.
