when longhorn was first announced I said I didn't think it would be a success, my thoughts were most people would remain on nt until there is some kind of blend between electronic storage and mechanical
we read somewhere they plan to eventually making vista dual hardrive, part flash part mechanical..when that happens, if xp isn't capable, people will switch and tons of games and programs will be written as soon as possilbe
therefore, if vista can take advantage of that scenario and xp cannot I believe everyone will switch
until then, or until xp isn't supported anymore, just a few people will switch, though vista is going to get all the newbes for sure
also, if you're switching to vista, you pretty much should be going to the 64 bit so you can start accessing more then 4 gigs of memory...that's gonna be important
