Vista Rising?

Vista, shmista. I plan to run XP as long as I have to switch over to Windows from the Mac to run Quiken, TaxAct, or Photoshop. Vista seems pricy--$250 for an upgrade to Vista Ultimate from XP Professional. And, according to an article on Techgage, there's no performance boost over XP. My feeling is that Leopard will go for the same price as Tiger, and that, compared to Vista, it will have more advanced features, more elegance, and be more fun to use. Nor would it surprise me if Vista porks down on more systems resources that Leopard does.

I've just found out that the online version of TaxAct supports Mac OS 9.0 or higher--one less reason to boot up Windows.
