XP
I just got one with vista and it is the most annoying thing ever.
I turned off all the stupid warnings and it still warns me that the warnings are dissabled.

My new laptop has Vista. Didn't like it at first because of the learning curve but now I prefer it to any of my XP machines.

I got a new desktop recently with Vista Home Premium. There's been a few minor software compatibility issues and some changes that take getting used to, but I now prefer it to XP.

I use too many complex apps to upgrade to Vista anytime soon. I'll stick with XP for a while.

Vista sucks. They did fix a lot of the hardware plug in support issues you get with XP but the constant disruptive system alerts drive me insane!

I have nearly zero problems with XP. Especially when dealing with Microsoft products, if it ain't broke don't fix it...

Are you familiar with the word Allow?

I know you are.

It sucks.


Plus I think there's a secret plot to take down M$'s enemies 'cause my ITunes and Firefox have had more problems than ever.

I have two gigs of ram and a core duo pc and I find it 4 times slower to load apps. It is nice to get a warning every time a program tries to run in the background. I'm horrible about getting viruses. I called Dell to ask for XP, since I ordered it with XP and they sent it with Vista and they said their system shows my pc as preloaded with XP, so they think I'm lying lol.

tried to help a buddy with his vista desktop today and it was nothing but trouble

xp is mature and works well with all the applications, no need or desire for me to downgrade to vista

I know i could still buy one with XP, but i'm not sure i wanna do that, then have to change over soon enough anyway...

Scott, you won't have to change over for at least a year. Trust me on that one.

Vista sucks so bad I am even thinking of just making the switch to a Mac and giving away my brand new Sony Vaio to my 16 year old nephew.

For me to do that indicates major suck-a-tude.

Vista's great if you know what you're doing. Otherwise stick with XP, or get a Mac.

XP for now. I see no reason to upgrade to Vista until my apps are no longer updated for XP, so maybe in two years or so I'll upgrade.
