I do not see where Vista is a major improvement over XP. I guess we shall see over a period of time. I am of the type that i will wait until Service Pack 1 comes out for Vista before i will install it on a new computer. There WILLl be a service pack 1 since Microsoft always lets the customers find the problems with the system. The MAJOR problems will be attended to with SP1 for VISTA.
In the mean time i have got XP down pretty pat, so i will continue to use it until i find Vista to be better. I will build a Vista computer and use it when possible but i will still have 3 or 4 XP puters to use.
Microsoft has never ever let people install the OS on 2 computers with the same registration key. You will have to buy a second license to put on a second computer. You can have the same version of the OS on both computers.
Heres the different versions.

More than likely the home premium version will prevail since it has AERO.
SRX660

It really depends on who you talk to, whether they'll upgrade now or later, eventually we'll all need to upgrade. For me, I'll be doing it 1 month after it comes out, reason, i love new technology, something to brag/fool around with before others get the chance and I'm gone the date it is released till 3 weeks later .
I personally don't do the beta test, as i need a reliable computer for the work i do, can't afford to lose some work. But from what I have read, its supposed to be a significant upgrade from XP, it's compared in many articles i have read to the transfer of dos to windows 95. Wether it will be or not we won't know till it is released as i'm sure microsoft has yet to announce a few things. I'd suggest that if you don't want to fool around and have problems to wait like SRX660 has said till at least 3-4 months have gone by or SP1 has come out. Whatever comes first. By then all the major bugs should have been fixed.
As for the versions of vista, the premium is a no brainer, and for the people with lots of money to burn go for ultimate, but for me, premium will to me well. I'm getting third party software to do my photo/video editing, as it always comes on top. Home will be more or less a small upgrade from XP.

I was contemplating on getting Vista when it first came out because I'm tired of the bubble reminding me I do not have a "genuine copy" of Windows. I know, I know... it's bad. But hey, if I can get away with it... why not, ya know?
No i don't know. Just because you can get away with it doesn't make it right. I hope the bubble annoys the [bleep] out of you
