For looks, I have the Aero skin for my WinBlinds. Looks exactly like Vista, without the bloat. As for Viruses...?? I don't have viruses on my WinXP machine. I am behind a Router, with a good Firewall, I have my Spybot with Tea Timer running, and I use FF with my beloved NoScript, Adblock Plus, Flashblock, and JavaScript Options. I have not had a virus in years. And yes, Microsoft is trying to get me to upgrade to Vista, by stopping support for WinXP. And as you have pointed out, if one buys a new computer (though I do not buy complete PCs, I put them together myself), then one is left with the unenvious option of choosing Vista, Linux, or Mac OS (or one installs WinXP from his install disk, which is what I do). DX10 does nothing for me - I do not play games that require it. Most professional applications run faster?! I seriously doubt that! Not when compared to my revved WinXP system, they do not! As for the Start menu, yes, it is more "usable" in Win Vista, but I normally do not use the Start menu, anyway. And as for search features, I use Google Desktop. Works much better than anything M$ produces, and is much faster. And then throw in all the problems that Vista introduces - and I seriously do not see a reason to upgrade.
