I can imagine it to be a total nightmare to start trying to get all the right drivers sorted out, and praying that all software is compatible...

I'll probably wait yonks before I change. LOL I only made the leap from win98 to xp in 2004 :rofl:

Bought a lappy with it already preinstalled in the States and haven't noticed any bugs with the software as yet!

It's got a few nice features like the gadgets on the wallpaper screen and one or 2 other nicer touches about it, like preview screens, transparent boxes, Media Centre etc. but they've also overcomplicated some of the tasks, like switching the thing off now takes slightly longer because of the 7 options:crazy:

Almost everybody will upgrade to it eventually, but for now it doesn't seem worth the cost if you've already got XP!
