12/01/2007 | Stick with XP for as long as it takes to make Vista workable. I don't claim to be some brilliant software engineer with some grand opinion. I am just the average day to day computer user with good general knowledge. I don't have time to run all the fixes that I spend hours trying to find... nor do I care to. So if that doesn't sound like fun for you either get XP and don't fool yourself into thinking Vista is better because it's new. I have regretted my "top of the line" HP with Vista purchase from the first day. Nothing is compatible with it and Vista constantly locks up and leave searching for answers for hours or days. Even worse the answers never come. And if someone tells you the answer is simple.... don't believe them.

07/26/2007 | Just so-so: better than Vista has shown itself to be so far. If you really want a worthwhile operating system, look into Ubuntu Linux - the learning curve isn't as bad as you think. If you insist on Windows, XP would be a better choice than Vista, especially if you can get ahold of a copy secondhand.

08/29/2005 | Great OS based on a comparitively (to the Win9x series, not to a *nix or *BSD) secure and stable core, quick, lots of support, easy to use and maintain, drivers are extremely simple to setup and update, programs are easy to update, install and remove. Disadvantages = not as secure, reliable or stable as a *nix based OS in an experianced users' hands. Overall great for home and office use, not so much for servers. Also Home vs Professional = Pro with better networking and server capabilities, Home is the saem but with crippled networking and server capabilities.
