Default Re: windows xp or vista???
I got Vista for $10 from my school so I decided to give it a try for awhile. Ran it side by side my copy of XP Pro. Did this for a few months and never found a reason to use Vista over XP. There was one reason to use Vista and that was Crysis but numerous tricks makes it look the same under DX9 as its supposed to under DX10. Vista was slower, uglier, bad driver support, less app compatibility. You better off going to Ubuntu or another friendly linux distro than making the "upgrade" to Vista.

Note: I may be considered a rabid XP fanboi. I am of the opinion outside of its closed nature it is the greatest operating system in existance.
