There's already a vista thread. I'm like one of two people here who actually own it. Juries still out. Beware: if you buy a new system with Vista, don't use Microsoft Calendar. Even though they are both Microsoft applications, they are incompatible. I'm still trying to figure out how to delete calendar from the computer so it can't cause any problems later.

I am still using XP, and my next computer will likely be a Mac, so this question is invalid for me.

Sounds like they used code from the past (office 95!) for calender!

I don't have vista yet. I rather desperately want it though. I do have office 2007. It is fantastic I love it.

That's pretty sad, MS Calendar is part of Vista.

I have not upgraded to Vista ... and I'm not sure that I will do, either.

I'm a Linux man. I occasionally use Windows 2000 for video games, though I'd rather play games on consoles.

Not until the first service pack comes out because i'd rather have dx9 without flaws than dx10 with bugs and stuff like that.

No and not going to either. Next computer is going to be a mac pro, whenever Leopard comes out.

I got a free Vista upgrade with a computer I bought in December but I'm waiting to install it when I have more free time to tinker with it. And its going to be a dual-boot with XP - I'm a gamer and computer musician so I don't trust the Vista drivers and game performance yet. I just want to see how it works and maybe gradually switch over if things run smoothly.

i think the correct terminology would be "downgrade"" not "upgrade"

Vista??? I don't think I will upgrade to that. Not if I have Linux. Linux and Beryl :).
