I wouldn't put it so rudely, but he makes a good point, what do you use your
system for mainly?
I'd say the only reason to upgrade is if you wanna check out the latest and
greatest, and that's about it. XP does just about everything Vista does save
for the added security and other various things.
I upgraded because I got a free copy of Ultimate OEM, and I love to tinker,
but I still have my XP box for stuff like my finances and business needs.
Vista has most of my games dispite the lack of SB Audigy 2 support (which I
guess is nearly fixed now).
Yeah, go with the Retail Upgrade version.
