Further more we've had issues with them not working properly in all sorts of things, from bulbs in lamps so dim you might as well light a candle, to bulbs which just don't fit right cause they're a different shape/size then the incandesent the fixture was designed for.
I predict as we get close to the deadline we're gonna see some people stocking up/hoarding the incandesants. I know i will be.

I saw an article in some home/renovation type magazine and they were showing all sorts of different shapes and sizes of CFL's, even some that worked with dimmer switches some how. I've never seen any of them in stores here though.
I have noticed some brands take a second to turn on, while others I have are instant on, which is really nice.
