    I'm using XP right now but i'm upgrading to windows 7 before christmas. I think windows 7 will be faster and work better for me for what I have to do.

    Still using XP and I'm more comfortable with it unlike vista. Vista is very complicated IMO and not a friendly user.

    i am using the windows XP.. im more familiar with it, its just that viruses are very prone to it.. i guess its more safe to use the MAC.. very rare chances of getting viruses..
