Well it's not so much the viruses I worry about, it's the spy ware. When I ran XP I had spy ware galore to the point it killed my system, even with my anti spy ware on full blast it copied itself faster then I could delete it. Switched to 2000 and never had any spy ware or virus' in 3 years of it running.

Though I'm tempted to get Vista just because it's new and will become a standard OS in coming years so long as Microsoft doesn't botch it and I can always upgrade to 64 bit later when it's a better mode to run in.

But I keep hearing Vista is still so full of errors and full of blue screens of death that it makes me think it almost isn't worth it.
