My case....I upgraded a home desktop (self built) to Vista. Ran great....except for many applications. bought a new HP Slimline with Vista preloaded just to have something native t compare. So then my office Dell laptop was crushed by Delta Airlines and Dell shipped me a replacement...with Vista Ultimate preloaded. I offered to keep Visa and be a test case for corporate IT application changes....no dice. They say they won't consider leaving XP for another 2 years....or more. Don't you love it when IT folk blow smoke...and get away with it?
