  Just curious. At this point more than half of the respondents voted Strongly Agree - I wonder if this indicates that people are really satisfied or they've just got a vested interest (probably mostly emotional) in having made the correct decision or don't want to admit they made a bad one.

Reduction of cognitive dissonance and denial are two of the pillars of a happy day.

If I were not satisfied, I'd dump what I now have (Nod32) and get something else.  This probably applies to most people. 

The better question is, 'what causes satisfaction?'  A few years ago that involved resource use and system slow down almost as much as effectiveness, now that may not be such a big issue.  This applies to XP, Vista is an unknown to me.
