Had I but known - as the famous phrase goes - how challenging a NEW computer with Vista would be, I would have waited longer. That said, my old one needed a complete overhaul and it is always tricky to accomplish that.

Still, given the number of backward-compatibility software problems with Vista, I strongly suggest you wait six months or so. Even then brace yourself for some weird issues like Excel taking 30 seconds to load. (What is that about?)
