    Vista is much better. Although you would be better just buying a Mac instead ;)

    Vista. Things seem to not break. I used to get programs crashing all the time on XP. None of that on Vista.

    Still, I agree Vista is better if your PC can handle it. I have my PC setup at the moment with both XP and Vista on it, with the 2 sharing the same localhost/web server and I found that I was using more and more of Vista and less and less of XP, until tonight I am backing up my entire 250GB XP partition onto another partition for transfer over to my Vista one. Still have 4 hours to go (and then another 6 or so hours copying it from the partition to Vista).

    Still, XP is a very solid operating system, and if your computer can't handle Vista (I'd really recommend at least 1.5GB of RAM), then it is still a fine choice.

    I still prefer the old XP even though Vista looks so much nicer with the enhanced graphic. I don't need that as long as my computer runs smoother without delay.

    Right I take back what I said. Vista so kindly copied all my installed programs to its drive (awesome!) but deactivated all of them, and some - including PowerDVD 8 - would refuse to activate, saying I needed admin permissions - when I was administrator, and hitting "Run as Administrator". SO I played around with the command line (its my b!tch) and gave myself access to the root admin account - but still no joy!

    Don't get me wrong though XP is still a good program. If it's comes on your PC I wouldn't bother upgrading. The new features just seem to be enhanced graphics like lycos said. There really isn't a big difference between the programs IMO.

    I have experienced XP on a few friends computers. And I'd say Vista is better. However I dual-boot Vista and Ubuntu, and I say Ubuntu is the best.

    Is that true ? Vista have higher requirements to hardwares, needs more memory. For my poor computer, I am not planning to install a Vista.

    Good thing you started this thread because we don't have any Vista vs XP threads yet.
