As someone has mentioned before, 7 is vista done properly LOL!
We didn't upgrade to Vista, at work, mainly because the costs involved in upgrading all the workstations, and the time to do all the software upgrades, testing, debugging etc etc etc would just become a pain in the ass IMO.

My main grip with Vista AND 7, is the main change in icons and the interface? Why change a perfectly working Explorer Window FFS...retraining of Staff just in interface differences is just unecessary work. I also don't like the slow WDS method of ghosting machines now, as its just so damn slow, compared to RIS (WDS Legacy mode). I just want to ghost machines - be quick please.

c0sie. Stick with Vista, or as gareth mentioned buy a Mac!, A good idea would also to start learning about virtualisation, that way you could try 7 (on both PC and Mac). We have virutalised all our servers at work, and now run at least two servers per host on each vmware ESXi host.
