Though I may go to Apple OSX with a windows interface. Same features as Vista somewhat better company. And Gates still won't see much if any money from me.
And boy do I want all my software companies to move to another os. *sigh*

OSX is far enough away from both to be highly annoying to some people (like me). On the other hand, OSX will run Windows under the (third-party, $99) virtual machine environment Parallels.
