From what we are seeing at work the home versions are fairly stable for a new release, the ultimate is a memory hog though. There are some security qwirks that will be annoying until you get used to it and just about everything has been moved around as far as control panel stuff so some settings are hard to find. The "Pro" (enterprise) version needs much work and the new longhorn server release to work properly.

At home, I will not upgrade any XP computers. I think that there is no significant advantage. Only reason that the laptop is Vista is because it will be a retail purchase. On sale of course.
