Windows Vista - Continuing the Drive of 3rd Party Applications
One (of many) reasons to get Windows Vista - either on a new computer you buy or as an upgrade to an existing computer is the additional, 3rd party applications that will be developed on top of it.

Although I don't think you should rush to upgrade to Vista for computers that are relatively new and have Windows XP I do think that for new computers you buy, it won't be a problem and will be even an enhancement to have them come with Vista built in.
