That’s a lousy reason, at least for me. My Uni CS dept. has a license for it, so the cost for me is the cost of a dvd-r, basically. And the thing with macs is, they’re a tad expensive. I’d have to save up on buying myself a 1000 vista dvd’s before I can actually afford the mac.
Same here on the license being available, but if it’s time to renew your hardware, then you just as well can choose a mac. I’m thinking about it also, though it’s a lot of money. This Vista is, to me, not much more then a wanna be Mac effort by Microsoft.

Like a local newspaper wrote today : “mooie smoel, zotte kosten”.
Translated from Dutch, it means “nice looks, but the price is crazy”.
I share you opinion! Vista is crap 😉

Yeah, but you can put it on there too!
Gijs, it’s not even the cost of a DVD-R, since you can install it while XP is running. 🙂
Good call. No hurry here either.
