Hi, Brian.
You're right. Majority of PC's sold come with Microsoft Operating Systems.
That's what they call a "captive market".
Since Vista is new, there's a lot of tweaking that has to be done.
Microsoft is coming out with their first Service Pack for Vista (SP1) in order to fix all the flaws that they've found (so far).
XP on the other hand, has been around for quite a while, and after availability of SP2, many major problems were eliminated. Security updates are, of course, a regular thing. So keeping the Automatic Update ON is imperative.
Still, there is NO NEED to upgrade from XP to Vista.
For those who want Vista, it is best to just wait till they have to buy a new PC, so they get Vista with it.
