It runs faster on my machine than XP ever did, it's a heck of a lot more stable, and old problems like networking with printers (not to mention other computers) just disappear.

Plus, once you've used the Start menu-based instant search, trust me, you will *never* want to go back to XP. Not to mention the process-level volume control, system clocks for up to three timezones, Vista Media Center...
Nope I've never tried it but seeing as I have never had any problems with XP I don't see a reason to upgrade yet. I've never had any networking or stability issues and I don't see how a search box on the start menu makes it one of those must have features (I don't use the search, I remember where I keep my files)
