Rarely does one want to be the first kid on the block to try it, it  
could be painful. If you can do your work, I say don't upgrade. If it  
ain't broke, don't fix it. I don't think Vista will make you more  
productive in your work.

Digital audio workstation applications seem to be getting a lot hits.  
It's not Microsoft fault, it's the fault of the sound card  
manufacturers who have not upgraded their drivers to play with Vista.  
I suspect the same thing is occurring in the graphics world as well.  
It's all about drivers.

Before you upgrade, really research the hardware manufacturers to  
determine if they have upgraded drivers; especially for laptops.
