Absolutely
As soon as corp HQ gets it from MS, I will install it in my office and begin my own evaluation
Employees and customers are always buying new machines and most will come with Vista
If it seems to be another Windows ME, I won't go far with it but otherwise I will prepare for the eventual rollout
Am already running Office 2007, IE7 (have IE7 on my 2 home machines as well)
Although I have used Firefox as my browser since before 1.0, I am personally moving over to IE7 since it is faster (XP SP2 updates, etc.) even though I like the look of pages better in Firefox
Colleagues are planning their Vista machines, once winter is over I know folks here will go to Vista (most of us are believers in the clean install)
I recall reading how MS has tripped up and 95, 98, 98SE, ME (score one for the opposition - but it made billions anyway) and XP will be the failures that will finally put MS in its place
Granting that the boy who cried wolf was indeed eaten by a wolf, I don't think Vista will hurt MS in anyway even if it is ME redux
At the Office 2007, Vista, Exchange 2007 launch event I attended, the speaker ([link|http://blogs.technet.com/mjmurphy|his blog]) suggested that we are about 5 years from the Windows 64 bit desktop being the dominant Windows (Exchange 2007 is 64 bit only)
If that conversion to 64 goes faster, Vista could end up a lame duck (I know there is 64 bit Vista) but I don't see that happening (note: I did not get any numbers right in last Tuesday's MegaMillions drawing)
