IMO, If your system is good enough for Vista it's worth it. Seems less buggy to me, DX10...etc...

I agree with you northbayvallejo, I switched back to XP from vista and instantly missed it. I prefer vista over xp, it looks nice and I find it easier and quicker to get things done. I also like to play my games in DX10.
