I've had Vista business since early December, and I dont even have it on my laptop or desktop, thats how much I dont care for it (I got it for free btw).
I especially wont get it on my laptop, because I only have a 100GB hard drive and I dont feel like wasting space for a useless OS. I will only switch to Vista once their are no more driver issues, they release more programs for Vista, and until Vista becomes the "norm".

Too bad if you buy a Dell XPS (as far as I know its all of the dell laptops) laptop, Vista comes with it as the OS, no option for XP anymore
Like I am thinking of doing
I doubt that, as of now still the only option is XP but you get the Vista upgrade coupon.

Oh wow, then it must have been very recent because I was customizing a laptop yesterday I believe and it was only XP that was available.

**** no.
because vista needs lot's of resources to run fast:
high end video card
2gigs of memory etc.
I put it in the my parents pc:
asus P5B-E(I wish I ordered deluxe, but decided to save)
2gb of g.skill memory DDR2 PC2 6400. runs 800mhz at 1.8v. will overclock it later when I learn about overclocking.
e6300 core 2 duo.
evga nvidia 7800 GT 256mb.
250gb perpendicula recording seagate baracuda.
so windows xp are blasing fast, now. I don't know what will happen
when I overclock everything.
I thought it's gonna be waste of money even though my bro uses maya and photoshop on large files. but now windows vista home basic will keep this system busy.
but it's too much load on laptop with 1gb memory and on board card. d rather make xp pro look fancy with skins and have my laptop work fast than put vista which will take all resources away.

first off no home user needs to even buy ultimate. no home user would ever need to connect to a domain network in their home. So there is really no practical reason a home user would need ultimate. people would buy it just to say they have "ultimate" its a marketing scheme.
Secondly, vista runs like crap and XP has already shown to out perform it in almost every bench mark. Granted its always like a 3 ~ 7% over vista on average. However, if MS wants me to fork over money for their new OS it should at least be a better product over their previous OS. As of right now it is not a better product. It may look pretty, but its not better.
