No need to use Vista

You said that

"Now when I use a XP system I feel my hands are tied as things take longer to do or are just not as slickly implemented."

I agree with you on XP. However, I'd rather continue using Linux and the KDE than Windows Vista. I simply see no compelling reason for using Vista which I think is not worth its money. As usual, Microsoft will just push its Vista into the market through its monopoly powers. However, with its shrinking market share it might well be the last major OS we have seen from Microsoft.
