You are welcome to run whatever operating system you prefer. I
certainly don't want to try to persuade you otherwise. Nevertheless,
your list of what's needed to run Vista without a problem is far from
correct.


1) you have compatible hardware


Of course! You can't run anything if you don't have compatible
hardware for it.

My computer is not new, but is two years old.

I run a pretty extensive amount of software. It's mostly all the same
software I ran under XP, and it all runs just fine under Vista. The
only exceptions were a couple of minor utilities that wouldn't work at
all, but I can easily live without those.

I do *not* use it in a "very limited conservative fashion."

I image the entire drive regularly. That's good practice regardless of
what operating system you run.

However I have *never* needed to use any of the images I create,
because nothing has ever gotten screwed up.

Nor does it need to, as I demonstrated above.
