For audio production?
I would hold out until at least the end of the year. |

5 Things I can see that need to be ready before I'll upgrade:
- Vista Service Pack 1. I never touch a new Windows OS until at least 1 service pack is out.
- Support for my sequencer package, Cubase in my case.
- Drivers for my audio interface that are greater then version 1.0
- Drivers for my MIDI interface that are greater then version 1.0
- Support from Universal Audio for my UAD-1 card.
Some of these requirements may have already been met, but until 100% of them are met, I'm not even considering it. I would suspect most other people on this board are waiting due to similar requirements. |

I'm not touching it anytime soon, because most likely not all music software & hardware I use is Vista compatible. Besides, why fix something that isn't broken; I have all nicely set up and working. The possible performance benefits don't weigh enough in the balance; Win 2K with dualcore is fast enough for now.
Even more trouble could (well, probably would, knowing Microsoft) emerge from general compatibility issues. |

I think a better question to ask yourself is: is there something specific you want that's offered in Windows Vista but not in Windows XP?
Upgrading your operating system is a major change. It's always going to break something, it's just a matter of what and how badly. (For the Linux/Mac fanboys - put a sock in it, because Microsoft is the only company that even *tries* to maintain compatibility).
Vista definitely won't perform better than XP. Unless you turn off Windows Defender and all the useless security , it will actually perform much worse. Disable all the cruft and it's basically on par. |
