| I don't see any reason why you shouldn't get Vista.

| I'd go Vista too. But it's primarily dependent on your budget as you'll need to spend that bit more to get the same performance from your pc because Vista is more resource hungry. MS are going to be supporting XP well into 2009 in Europe, they're just not selling oem or retail copy's of XP anymore so you're now dependent on a vendor's existing stock if you want that as your o.s. SP3 for XP is also due out this year.

| It does, but it's not as stable as DX9.

You could always get XP then upgrade to Vista in about a year when it is more stable. That's what my plan is. My System: #

| If you already have XP .... there aint really that much Vista has to offer you that justifies the extra money to upgrade, other than prettiness IMO. So save your bucks. If not and you need to buy, then I guess Vista is the way to go. |
