I have Vista on my laptop and XP on my desktop. I am much more familiar and at ease with XP, but Vista does not yet seem impossible. There is a distinct learning curve, but I like some of the features in word and excel, for instance, the ribbon thing is pretty convenient.
I am forcing myself to do all the tutorials, etc, and that seems to help.
Good Luck..
