100% Agree with King Cobra's's post. My company can't afford the HW refresh. We will be rolling out 2K8 before we roll out Vista.

At work i am more interested in WXP SP3.

At home i am more interested en WV SP1.

> Why?

At work: Because we havent deployed Vista yet and i want to use NAP and some of the other great new technologies and enhancements in W2K8 as soon as possible.

I would say Vista SP1. I want to rid of watching those damn Mac commercials and watch Vista walk all over that bad kitty cat.

Vista's good and cool, but the wrinkles need to be cleared out to lock the leapord back into it's cage.

Go Microsoft Go! Kick those Mac weenies back!

They all seemed to have forgotten just WHO's company was bailed out by WHO back then. If it wasn't for a "Certain Somebody" the Apple tree would have died a long time ago.

Go Vista Go! Go Vista Go! Let's see SP1 one released (Beta test the WAZZOOO out of it) and let the shots ring out free and true and watch the Leapord cringe and cry...

Oh c'mon, I have to have a LITTLE fun... :)

I'd have to say Vista SP1 since that's what all but one of my clients are running. Further, Vista is the future of the Windows OS family and once all the kinks are worked out, I believe more and more people will begin to adopt it at which point we will see some incredible applications being developed on top of Vista! Just my two cents.

If you look at the latest version of VS2008, this only support 2,3 and 3.5 ... which seems like a lot of framework versions but version 2.0 and 3.0 come with Vista any how and 3.5 will come with windows updates as will future versions.

With XP it wasn't really meant to support all of the WPF, etc frameworks it was a late decision when vista was reset... so it will be windows update and the devs ensuring that they ship the required version.

I hope that makes, sense, it's late and I need sleep!

I don't know about what's more important to MS, but what's most important to me is XP-SP3. It's currently taking hours to install XP from SP2 media, especially with the
