"...Microsoft purposely did that to..."
Possible but unlikely, what is your source for this information?

Although it is said that Service Pack 3 for Windows XP will also come out on the first half of 2008, Service Pack one for Windows Vista will come out first and Microsoft purposely did that to attract XP users to buy Windows Vista.

It is often a good idea to wait until something is ready before purchasing.

How do you define ready?
Everyone has a different definition.
For me Vista was ready when released.
For others, it may never be ready.
Windows Vista runs fine for me so as far as I am concerned, it is ready.
Others with other needs, may have different views for their specific situation.

Service Pack 1 is expected to be released the 1st half of next year.
Some are waiting until then.

I thank you for your opinion and I do respect it but please understand
that my question was based on my experience with Microsoft , in so much
that it would seem that new systems are released before they are fully
tested and then require numerous "Service Packs".
My question really should have been"Is Vista really ready or should I
wait until it is ? ".

Richard;
I would get a new computer with Windows Vista, but that is me.
Windows vista works well for me on two older computers and for me it
would not make sense to purchase new with 6 year old technology.
What others do or should do is best determined based on their specific
needs.

Anyone that tells you which you should get based on the information
you provided is probably to biased to be trusted.
You gave insufficient information for anyone else to make an informed
recommendation for you.
