Maybe give us your specs, that we can tell you if it is even relevant to try it.

it takes longer to boot
some games and apps won't work, depends how old they are

u need at least 1gb of ram just to try it out and 2gb to run it smoothly

u could wait till SP1 of course [it really needs one, badly], but u can try it now too

personally i'm using xp and see absolutely no reason to use vista right now

most ppl use vista coz it loox good and has some fancy stuff which i think for OS is absolutely useless and pointless
