Thanks, Rick. Yes I had already done that, so in fact I am not asking about whether or not I *CAN* upgrade (i.e. hardware compatibility, system resources etc are all fine and I know that I can run Vista with a few software upgrades that may be necessary in some peripherally used programs. My question was really more to the point of *SHOULD* I upgrade. I am not unhappy with XP. What will Vista allow me to do better/faster/more securely etc (other than looking spiffier)? I would rather have impartial real-life user opinions on the real benefits (if any) of moving to Vista, rather than Microsoft's marketing reasons for encouraging me to do so.

That is the biggest reason to wait...
MS has some tools to check your system over.
(My Video sucks, and I was a little shy on RAM...)
