    Not sure where you can get it at the mo. Only beta testers can get it afaik

    It has many advantages, such as great graphics and that. But your computer would need to have at least 1GB RAM to cope with it, as it handles "glass3D" transperency effects.

    I am not going to change straight away to Vista when it comes out because I would be worried that alot of my drivers wont have the Vista software straight away, so that would be a downside

    Not before Vista. SP3 for XP is tentatively planned for Q1 '07 IIRC.
