#1 Well that settles it for me :)  WWJD What would Joe do?
#2 OK they share code base but 90% of the Vista stuff was FUD IMO. I ran it
for 2 years myself with 0 issues.
#3 Does that still hold true? The only big feature that I thought was
missing was HDX Flash redirection which was added in FP3/2008 some time ago.
#4 Haven't hit any show stoppers myself, but then my farm is pretty small
(<200 concurrent users)

Biggest issues with me sticking with 2003R2 is it's age, needs much more
tuning on XA than 2008, and it's butt ugly to look at. Issues with XA6 is
x64 is a huge jump for some of the apps we run. So this was the best
compromise.
