Connecting Vista to a network is much easier than XP, never had the problems I had with XP, and I connect to multiple networks & VPN's.

Very few patches for Vista as well compared to XP.

But if what you have does what you want, no need to change just because you can, you don't upgrade your car just for a better alarm system do you? (Well I do!!)

And I can't see accessing all the software from a server ever becoming the majority, as the Open Source market would prevent it.
