I have been running Vista on two computers since Novembers no
problems.
The newest piece of hardware is a nearly 2 year old video card in the
desktop
The laptop lacks Aero but other than at all work well.
All my software also works as well.
If you have a spare hard drive, install to that and leave your other
drive intact in case there are unforeseen problems.
On the other hand if all works well with Windows XP, perhaps you
should wait.
The current rumor for the release of SP-1 is near the end of the year
coinciding with the release of Longhorn Server rumored to be called
Server 2007.
