The only reason I will upgrade is for DirectX 10.  Until a game I like comes 
out that requires DX10 (or looks amazing with DX10 and crap with DX9) I will 
stay with XP.  Of course if I get a new computer before then that comes with 
Vista, I would use it.

From a developer perspective, DX10 is a huge improvement over DX9.  Calling 
it DX10 is a bit misleading because it really is vastly different from DX9 
in many areas, a much bigger change than anything before.  Once developers 
start to make good use of DX10 hardware we should see some pretty 
spectacular stuff.
