I LOVE my 64-bit Vista. But that is because I have a quad-core processor, 4GB of ram and powerful GPUs.

So if you don't have a strong enough computer then stick with XP.

Vista Ultimate 64 is what I have ran for months now. I have XP PRO on my other drive, but I rarely boot into it. Its mainly there for a back up OS. I do not forsee me changing back to XP ever.

Vista gets my vote. I've had Vista since the month it came out. I hated it at first, but after a while things started to iron out (XP was the same way) and compatibility started to get better. Now with service pack 1, it's almost completely flawless. If you were someone that just watched a couple movies every day, surfed the interent, checked email, and listened to music, then you could even have an enjoyable experience on my rig, even at stock clocks. I only keep XP on my other drive for times that I get pissed off at vista for eating up my single core for games, but CSS is the only one that's affected, CoD4 is even really playable on my sig rig with Vista. Late adopters won't notice it as much as people who've had it over the long hall, but if you have had it for that long, you could honestly say it's improved A LOT.

Vista = win.
