Neowin.net forum
The above link revealed some interesting info on the next release of Windows (Windows Se7en). The forum contained a post from someone who allegedly had a beta release of Se7en installed on 2 machines.
I wanted to mention this since I am viewing the upcoming release as a make-or-break for me. If the new release offers the same "upgrade benefits" that Vista offered, I will be forking over the extra $$$ for a Mac. Se7en seems to be promising after reading this post, as well as some other unofficial posts and videos floating around the web (Se7en Preview video). Se7en is said to be released around first-quarter of 2010. Microsoft has some catching up to do in order to keep more customers from abandoning ship. . . and swimming to Apple.

Swim, swim now - you won't regret it!
I agree- I bought a PC with Vista installed after a small catastrophe necessitated a quick purchasing decision. Being full time with classes and unemployed at the time ruled out the Mac I would need. Vista has caused nothing but trouble, and new operating system or no, Apple is definitely going to be my next computer purchase. Vista is simply more trouble than it's worth. You know you have a bad product when an old machine with 512MB RAM, surfing a neighbor's wireless, can ftp files 8 times faster than my Vista machine with 3G RAM, on a faster network. (Yes, I conducted this little clinical trial at home :))
Vista is nothing but problematic because of many features they needed to strip out in order to ship it on time.
I have never been able to lock up an operating system by simply transferring files. HORRIBLE, HORRIBLE, HORRIBLE! I don't even have it on a bad computer.
I recommend visiting the following link to see what Vista SHOULD have been: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Features_removed_from_Windows_Vista
