I'm going to take the plunge and install my nice, shiny copy of Vista
Business this afternoon.

As the man in the tent once said as he stepped outside: "I may be gone
some time"...........


surely first thing this morning is better, then you have the rest of the day to start putting it right.

and don't forget the do a backup of everything before you start and maybe a clone drive using Trueimage.


It only took me about an hour, including the two installs required to do a clean install. I keep all my data on a separate drive, so I just disconnected that before the install and installed on a fresh drive, so no backups needed (of course my normal backups all still occur).
