Maybe so, but if I were to upgrade from XP, I would be torn between Vista 
and 7 because Vista at least lets me have my taskbar instead of a dock.

And Vista doesn't pop-up tons of shit everytime the pointer gets near the 
bottom of the screen. I'd never be able to get any work done if I had 
(barely-distinguishable) mini-screenshots constantly popping up to "help" me 
all time like Win7 loves to do. They've killed Clippy, but his ghost remains 
as a poltergeist spreading thruout Windows (and IE8).
