Windows XP Pro is by far more stable than the current version if Vista. Also by far more compatible with device drivers and software.

I use XP-Pro and dont have any plans to switch any time soon. I have tested vista a couple of times and it always runs slow with not a lot of extra benifits except the pretty colors.

Same goes for XP compared to 2k pro. Not a lot of benefits except pretty colors.

Exaclty! I dont use the colors. I have my XP-Pro optimized for speed not flash.

If I had a choice I probably would not use windows at all. The only reason I do is because the Realtor MLS system I use requires IE for there web interface.

For everything else I use my mac.

I think depends on the memory capacity and the size capacity of the computer.. .

For for me as of now I like XP... I have seen vista already but some of my friends are complaining about vista for being not stable unlike the XP even they have high memory capacity...

Nice to hear that because I can really feel better using a PPC rather than an Intel platform (looks at all the patents running around)

PS: Sorry for being offtopic

Its no wonder that XP has got maximum votes on the poll till now as it is widely used and its also older than Vista. I'm quite satisfied with XP and find no good reason to switch on to Vista though I had tried it when it was released.

Xp pro all the way.

I was a sworn win98 user well after I got an oemXP. It was another year or so before I got fed-up with 98 that I finally switched over. I've never looked back.

been using vista for about four months and it's cool, but TOOOOO many compatibility issues. I would go back to XP if it wasn't such a hassle.

Tried to avoid Vista cause of what people were saying about it. I bought a new laptop recently which had Vista pre-installed and up to now I love it. Very few software conflicts with old software and it makes connecting to networks a snap, which I always struggled with in XP.

Deffo Vista for me, but I can't figure out what the point of the gadgets is.

I like the processor meter, I guess it's another toy, I found the rest of them useless like the clock, you have one down in the task bar.

I tried Vista out during the beta. I got the impression that most of the changes were about appearance which I'm sure isn't the case.

I really didn't see anything worth upgrading for especially since there are supposed to be a lot of software compatiblility issues.

I will probably stick with XP for a time until Vista becomes more popular and all the bugs have surfaced. Then again I'm actually leaning towards buying a Mac which is something I'd never have dreamed of saying a few years ago.
