Having fiddled with home computers for the past 25 years I've come to the conclusion that sometimes the need is driven by the technology, not the other way around. I know people who are still using Win '98 and it works fine for what they want to do.
I still use XP Pro and I probably won't have a need to ever upgrade again. It does everything I would want it to do and really can't think of anything I NEED to do that it can't. Vista certainly provides some interesting upgrades in terms of media and internet integration, but I just don't have a use for that, at least not so much of a use that I want to upgrade.
My feeling is if you're happy with what you have and an upgrade isn't going to make things better by a fairly large degree there is absolutely no reason to move up.
