Can't wait to be able to slipstream SP3 into Windows XP. I'm hoping this will add AHCI-mode drivers for most of Intel's SATA controllers, in addition to all the patches we know will be there.

"cling"..?
When 75% are still using Windows XP, that isn't clinging.
When Dell and other companies have forced MS to include that choice of OS to their business line of PCs.
There is currently very little reason to switch.
Let's make a wild guess on how many of the 12% that are Vista users was just because it was already installed on their new PC (I'd guess 95%+).
Yes MS will eventually succeed in migrating most people to Vista over time just by having it as the default system on most PCs sold, especially when Windows XP is no longer available for sale. And yes, they will lose a few % to Linux or OSX in the process.

this will make re-builds a lot easier.

last weekend after installing SP2, I had around 91 security updates to take. install them all, reboot, and find there are another 20 to fix the fixes you just took. nice.

in a side note, Vista has nothing to offer except 64bit-ness. The only reason I'm even considering Vista for my next OS is simply so I can run the 64bit version with more mem.

Vista isnt really so much a release as it is an internal build that MS decided to sell as a release to pick up some extra cash till they have time to release the real vista. aka windows 7 ?
