You should really give Vista another look. It is rock solid on my system and performance is pretty robust. Windows XP is really starting to show it's age.

I agree with KBRKR, VISTA is rock solid as long as you install it with SP1. I have a custom built machine that screams! Been running Vista since the SP1 came out with NO issues at all.

I change operating systems when I change computers "if I have to".
My computer still runs great for what I use it for.
My personal belief is a computer runs best for the os it is designed for, for example my system is fairly large and fast for the xp pro I'm using but for Vista it would be "small and slow".

My kids both have Vista and I have set up their computers for them. I wouldn't mind Vista, they have no problems, I'm just not gonna change for the sake of change.
