My advice to those wishing to upgrade to Vista that insist on doing it now will be to spend a few extra bucks and buy the full version, not the upgrade. And buy a new hard drive so you can disconnect/remove the existing hdd, install the new and do a completely fresh install. I know it's a pain to load all the old programs but it's a lot less time than trying to recover when the upgrade goes bad. You then have the old hard drive as a complete system backup. You can copy all of the previous files and favorites by simply slaving the old drive to the Vista system. If and when you are satisfied with Vista and it is working well for you, you can format the old drive and use if for extra storage or backup.
