Heh.
Heheheh.
Hahahahaha.
HAHAHAHAHAHAH!
LOLOCAUST!!!
I'll upgrade (maybe) when I think its safe. e.g, after a big service pack and stuff. Maybe I'm being paranoid but I remember WIN95 being buggy as hell until its major service pack, same with 98, and again with XP.
Perhaps I'm being narrow minded. Perhaps my memory is jaded. But right now XP on my machine is doing its job admirably, and I don't see the need to change it at all.
Time for a change...

I'll VM or Dual Boot XP if I still need it when I do the rest of my machines, i'm not going to delay installing a new OS on a capable machine just because some companies were too incompetent to update thier software when they've had 6 months of free Betas and RC versions to work with.  | |

No problems at all. In fact, I've been running it for months without a single problem except compatibility with a few minor apps; all the major apps I use (Lightwave, Photoshop, Premiere, and so on) seem to work fine with it.  | |

Can't say I'd even think about upgrading on my old machine though.
