Going to wait a while for vista until all the bugs are sorted! Give it 2-3 months.

Bugs don't get fixed that quick, it's just security issues etc that get patched regularly.

Sp1 is in the making anyway.

Anybody else got it yet? Waiting for mine to come, having Business edition. Going to dualboot it with XP on the main desktop PC then get a new Mac Mini to put it on when Leopard comes out.

there isn't THAT much difference, had the final version of Ultimate for 6 weeks now and not noticed much of a difference.

careful of things like the sidebar raping your RAM too
