Oh so true! I understand you Belisarius.

I work at a small company so it was easy. With a business license you are allowed to downgrade from Vista Business editions to XP Pro.
So i called MS that i'm downgrading from Vista to XP and are in need of the license keys and the 10 new PC's only have Vista.
After some struggles they gave me the 10 keys.

Now all 18 workstations use XP Pro.

Switching from XP to Vista inside a corporation is asking for trouble.
Sure Vista has nice features but the new Samba, IE and Outlook 2007 will give you more headaches then you could imagine.

For example the Outlook 2007 use the Word HTML renderer and this means:
- no background images in email
- no gif animations in email
- no css in email
- etc.
