Let's remember that it took many months for XP to settle down as it is now taking with Vista.
Also even Microsoft admitted to some incompatibilty between Direct X and the CSeries.
As another part of their game Microsoft don't like reachback so older programmes can be lost. I have kept W98 as a partition on XP and strongly recommend keeping XP as a partition in Vista
