i tried the beta when it first came out, did not recognize alot of hardware, hopefully they have made improvements.  I will just wait for vista.

might be worth it just to allow you to use the upgrade package (if you don't own XP now).

But I have it at home... and finally installed XP32 on another partition for compatibility and never moved back.. but my main problems where corrected, but it took SO long that I just never tried going back...

Just fair warning that this is an OEM copy, which means its license lives and dies with the first machine it is installed on. That means if you do a major upgrade in the future (replace more than three major components at one time), you won't be able to continue using this license.

As the WPA stuff gets more and more advanced, this becomes a bigger and bigger issue with us hobbyist users, so just keep it in mind.
