Do anybody have any experience with Vista?
And no, I am not going to change to Linux-based tools.

I would recommend people to wait, since hardware problems seem to be a issue as well, even when the Upgrade Advisor says "go".

Personally, I always wait one year to switch to a new Windows version (once they solve the initial major bugs) and then acquire eventually all software upgrades I need. ▲ Collapse
