I'm in the same boat on a couple of machines.  Notwithstanding Brent's 
good advice, I'm just going to wait until April-ish 2008 for Hardy Heron 
LTS.  It's my understanding that LTS --> LTS "jumps" like Dapper --> 
Hardy will be supported.  I'll also go out on a limb and guess that they 
will be *well* supported and tested, else anyone using or looking at 
corporate use of LTS releases will be annoyed.

Microsoft has single-handedly nullified Moore's Law.
Innate design flaws of Windows make a personal firewall, anti-virus
and anti-malware software mandatory. The resulting software arms race
has effectively flattened Moore's Law on hardware running Windows.
