Yes. 99% of everything you do is still going to work, its not near as buggy as people would lead you to believe. Plus when something you want is for Vista only you don't have to go out and get Vista and then install it, you'll be all set already. Plus its time to quit using an OS that is 5+ years old.

Ultimately, it's your decision based on many factors, including price and needs. But Vista Home Premium is certainly going to be the standard for most people.
As far as performance goes, benchmarks are mixed, but most people are saying there's no real benefit in moving to Vista at the moment.

No wait for a service pack to come out. Then its time to upgrade.
I would highly suggest staying with XP Home or XP Pro. Vista is something I will personally never own. The problems they are having is the minor reason why. Stuff like, if you use a product, the company of that product can have low level access to your computer. The amount of security pop-ups you get is insane, and if you turn them off its useless. The fact that a computer that runs XP perfectly may be to weak to even run Vista at all. They took out an audio part that alot of games work, so you have to install a converter so Vista can read it. Its just too bloated. So, I would stay with XP.

The only problem I have is the fact that I'm a gamer, and pretty soon, games will only be in DX10, so I'll have to switch over, but I don't know when 
.
.I know the pain. That is why, when that time comes, I will have a computer built strictly for offline only use. Then I can use Vista without all the annoyances or anyone having the ability to access my computer. So, I guess I will own Vista eventually...but not for a while. I will wait till I am forced into it, but I definitely won't own it by choice.

I won't get Vista (if I can help it) just for the included DRM. Certain video contents will not play on non-HDCP displays, certains audio contents will not play through an analog connection to speakers, etc.
Soon enough, Linux will be the only OS to use if you want to keep away from too-invasive DRM as MacOS also has such limitations.
