So the hard drive died on my desktop tonight. It started making strange noises back in March, so I bought an external drive and backed it up. So while I am not concerned about data loss, I do need to get a new drive. I just ordered a new one and figure since I am going to rebuild I might as well take the opportunity to put Vista on the machine and give it a try. This is the longest I have ever waited before putting on a new OS, but I just saw no need to upgrade from XP. 98 to 2000 and 2000 to XP both made sense. The Vista upgrade is mostly just to get a chance to play with it, and a dead drive being a good excuse. I've heard more bad than good, but it's time to see for myself.

For others that are using it here, what does everyone think of it.
