Thanks.
It is worth a try, if only for the ability to load up on tons of RAM in the future. Disable UAC, and you shouldn't face many stupid vista hassles. Remember about the "disable desktop composition" checkbox in the properties of an application to selectively disable aero interface if need be (like for betpot's screen scraping on Stars).
If it comes loaded with excessive bloatware/spam like a majority of systems do these days, I'd be sorely tempted to install Vista fresh (after ensuring you've got enough drivers (and a firefox installer) to get online & download the rest).
If you got a copy of XP and <3GB ram, I'd be using XP (and do myself)
