Default When will you be switching to Vista?

After all you've heard and read about Microsofts upcoming operating system, when will you make the switch or when do you plan too?

I won't be switching from XP until I have no choice due to the fact that for some reason my software or hardware choice is only compatable with Vista (basically until I am forced to).

oh, and I took the liberty of editing the poll options a little bit to make them clearer and more inclusive. Plus this topic is better suited for the Software section...

I will avoid it like the plague, I will stick with XP as long as I can until I end up going to linux. But who knows, I might go to vista if I cant find a linux distro which can be used 100% by the GUI.
