Just had my main hd crash on my main desktop pc.
Its unrecoverable so i'm faced with a RMA replacement and a rebuild

Given that im gonna have to rebuild Im wondering is now
the time to jump ship to vista ?

Suggest that you do not.

I have Vista Business 64 bit AMD64bit 2gig memory.

There is so much software which just does not work - I have had to
dual boot my machine to keep many old applications working (eg System
Mechanic, Real Player, Nero to name but three) working.

Aero is interesting : BUT beware it is not part of all Vistas.

The disadvantages outweigh the advantages (if there are any)
