QSF, go with XP if at all possible. Vista is a resource hog and runs slow. Microsoft is even trying to rush their next operating system out earlier than planned to make up for the clusterfuck that is Vista.
What is the new OS they are working on? WHen will that be released?
I usually upgrade my notebooks every 4 years or so, so I usually upgrade the hell out of the machine which really amps up the initial cost. This one I have here is 4 years old, has a gig of ram, XP is running great. I am only using about 25 gigs on my hard drive (I don't download music or movies) Hmmm sounds as if I am talking myself out of upgrading right now.
On the machine prior to this, I skipped the ME version and got NT for my computer. I also had a LAN back then. Leave it to MS to create another ME type of problem before they get their REAL system out there. I even waited about a year for XP to mature before I finally got this one, I don't exactly remember when XP first came out. I did find networking much easier on XP.
