Folks,

how about a simple reply post: XP or Vista mainly from the standpoint of dependability and less so in terms of functionality. Maybe this poll will help clarify this issue for some of us who are not as savvy....

I am really struggling with the decision.


Thank you.

Kill two birds with one stone - buy Vista and get the XP downgrade disks.

If you just want to load an OS and forget about messing with it - make it XP.
