Despite the fact that it comes from BBspot*, it’s pretty accurate. Upshot:
- If you’re not running 2K or XP, don’t bother, your computer won’t be up to it anyway.
- If you’re using it for business, wait for SP1.
- If you’re a home user with the brains to support yourself and lots of money, go ahead.
I’m usually a first mover when it comes to these things, and having tried a late beta I was tempted to go for it, but I’ve decided to be sensible and stick with XP.
The upsides (the main one being Explorer navigation) just don’t outweight the downsides (compatibility, possible stability issues, etc).
* BBspot is a humour site. You’d be surprised how many people don’tget this. Even more than The Onion.
