    I'm using XP right now, but when Vista releases new and faster drivers, i may swap.

    My Vista has only been a direct cause of annoying and problems. I get 2 stop-errors each day. And it's NOT just me. Try and google "Vista freeze" or "iastor problems".

    Everyone who's thinking about switching to Vista; Don't!

    XP baby. for me,it stands for Xtreme Performance.

    Vista is just for those who are really media savvy.And for looks.

    7-1 lead for Xp, you're a big underdog.


    But really, my friend has a dualcore laptop and it runs slower with vista than by athlon 2000+ xp pc. (768mb ram, he has 1 or 2 gigs .)

    Actually, I heard something a half year ago that they were releasing a new OS already in 2009.

    Gotta be XP.

    What do i think about Vista? A version of XP with a search on everything, no organised folders, and lots of junk widgets that cover up half your screen so you need to close them to do anything else other than look at them.

    I'd take Xp over vista any day. If I wanted the Vista theme, I'd download it on my Xp.

    Yep, Linux . Linux can be pretty AND efficient.

    But I choose XP, definitely.

    EDIT: Revised view on Linux as of one year and one day later: n00b.

    I like how only one person chose vista in that poll. Vista really is just fancier looking, no real benefits over xp that I can find besides that. Takes more memory, doesn't do jack except make you run stuff as admin... Idk, maybe its safer lmao.

    The jealous temper of mankind, ever more disposed to censure than
    to praise the work of others, has constantly made the pursuit of new
    methods and systems no less perilous than the search after unknown
    lands and seas.

    I think it is more efficient to run XP on my AMD Athlon XP 2200+ based desktop. I'm not running anything that has DX10, so I don't need to "upgrade" yet.

    Ok, some of the people who bitch about Vista have never even TRIED Vista. I have Vista and with the right system and computer knowledge it works PERFECTLY. Some people say Vista has nothing better than XP, look it up I dare you and post the list and you will see what is better about it. People who say its slower must be running 512mb ram, some piece of shit integrated graphics card along with a piece of shit integrated sound card, oh how could I forget the single core 0.8 GHz processor. Yeah then pick XP cause Vista does require a decent computer, once you have a good computer then you will notice the benefits. Oh, and the people complaining about getting error messages all the time, its YOU not the OS.

    There, post some good opinions about XP vs Vista. For me Vista works perfectly with no problems at all. I dont hate XP by the way I just prefer Vista.
