Question Tell me...

Hi all!

I am currently using Windows XP (at home) and Windows Vista at work. I see some people here do not recommend vista for personal use. Why is that? I was thinking of upgrading my computer, but still having a second thought.

So, tell me which is much better for my computer at home, XP or Vista? If you have some bad or good comment on vista, please do tell me, I need some more info before I upgrade my computer at home.

As for my personal experience, I don't see any problems with vista, but some forum members tells me "don't even bother to upgrade..."

Looking forward for your advices guys!

Vista came preloaded on the computer I'm on right now. I just had that turkey taken off and XP Pro put on. Google "Vista problems" and you'll get a pretty good taste of what to expect.

To say what I think. Generally Microsoft Windows XP is generally more secure and well-known, they have had years to work out the tweaks to make it run well, in a few years Microsoft Windows Vista will possibly be up there.

I would say at least wait until the SP1 comes out, either that or switch to Linux and don't pay at all.
