When it comes down to it we might not have a choice to go to windows 7 though. DirectX requirements on newer games will eventually mean people have to upgrade since Microsoft is now making new DX version exclusively for their newer operating systems.
I don't see why you wouldn't switch already, vista is only slower than XP by a few seconds and makes up for it many times with it's application performance and ease of use (especially on a fresh install for custom machine builders)
Hell every actual PROBLEM was solved in the first service pack.
Plus I think you can still get the 120 day trial of Server 08, which is vista's SP1 kernel without all of the bloat of vista (a few minor tweaks and its a great gaming OS)
