I agree there is nothing to cause me to upgrade from XP on my other 
machines, but Apple advertisements not withstanding, I have not seen any 
major problems with Vista on machines designed for it.  I got my laptop with 
my new job with Vista Ultimate, and other than needing to max out the memory 
to get better than OK performance, I have had no issues at all with it. 
IMO, Microsoft's mistake was in setting the required memory value too low. 
2 GB should have been minimum with 4 GB recommended.

However, given the same hardware, you will likely get more performance out 
of WinXP or Linux if, as Arne mentions, you can get the drivers.
