Who here is going to or already has purchased Vista? I've seen it and used it but do not intend on purchasing it. I'll wait until I get a new computer and then if it comes with it that will be fine. Otherwise I'm sticking with my Linux/Windows setup. How about you?

If I would use Windows, then I would use Windows XP, and not Windows Vista.

So no, I'm not going to buy Windows Vista.

My work purchased a corporate license for Vista which I have installed on one of my work machines. I will probably never purchase it but I may use a copy on my work machine in the future (maybe after SP2 come out?).

I don't have any plans to upgrade to Vista on any of my machines.

I can't say that I will buy it but I will at least install it. :)

@Wanch: You can always get an illegal copy somewhere.

True. But I don't think that you should say something like this in public...

Everybody knows it, and as long as I'm just stating it, and not directly linking to illegal material, I don't think anybody cares.

I don't think the MS police will be searching a Linux forum for illegal copies of their software anyway. I doubt they even care.

At this point I'm all about Linux and don't have any plans to buy Vista.

Microsoft may bust you for downloading an illegal copy. They always seem to know in their updates if you have a legal copy or not.
