Looks better than other versions of XP (but you can get the MSSTYLE from Microsoft-it's called Luna). I've used Vista Home Premium for a SHORT time, and didn't have enough exploring time. -- Posted by Stormblazer at 7:02 pm on Oct. 13, 2007 XP Pro, of course. Vista has too many bugs, and Vista home basic is... well, you'd be better off with windows 98. I'm not joking. -- Posted by espresso8097 at 8:33 pm on Oct. 13, 2007 XP pro. Once some bugs are gone and more system tweaks Ultimate x64 will be better. -- Posted by OtentikStreet Brothe at 6:44 am on Oct. 18, 2007 XP Home.. -- Posted by cheeseball giver at 11:23 pm on Nov. 2, 2007 XP is better because now ppl say vista takes aa long time to start up and all sorts of things =S -- Posted by espresso8097 at 11:34 pm on Nov. 2, 2007 Quote: from cheeseball giver at 1:23 am on Nov. 3, 2007 XP is better because now ppl say vista takes aa long time to start up and all sorts of things =S Vista actually boots up faster than XP pro did on my machine.  Boots up in about the same amount of time Win2K Pro sp4 and Linux Mint take. -- Posted by Poker Shark at 12:52 am on Nov. 3, 2007 I'm gonna say XP pro because I've only used Vista once and it was on my friends new laptop and it went sooo slow.

As for the original post, i have Vista ultimate (which for some unknown reason you didn't mention...) and i was a bit unsure about getting it at first.

About the flashdrives. For those of you who have a u3 flashdrive you need to upgrade the u3 software otherwise it wont work in vista.

I see no difference between run speeds between XP and Vista Ultimate x64.  My computer isn't that powerful either, AMD64 3500+, 1.5GB RAM, 256mb 8600GT.  I suffer no slowdown due to operating system load. I have actually noticed that Vista is booting up faster that XP ever did on my computer.  But, Windows 2K pro still boots the fastest of my Windows boots.  Fast boot comes from LinuxMint. -- Posted by mikesandy at 4:34 pm on Nov. 22, 2007 XP wins! -- Posted by Giohughes at 2:31 am on Nov. 28, 2007 XP HOME PWNS! -- Posted by EndLess LoVe at 7:56 pm on Dec. 27, 2007 Quote: from AmazingAndy at 2:37 pm on Oct. 12, 2007 I got Vista Home Premium and ive had no problems with it Same here   -- Posted by mooble at 10:44 pm on Dec. 27, 2007 I upgraded to vista home premium due to instability in XP. Never going back. If your system is capable of running it, get vista. Otherwise, stick with XP. -- Posted by i r sekz at 9:31 pm on Jan. 2, 2008 XP, Vista is a resource hog even if you strip it down to the basics. -- Posted by obvious child at 12:38 am on Jan. 4, 2008 I ain't switching to Vista till it's absolutely necessary. -- Posted by marshmellowman at 7:16 am on Jan. 4, 2008 Leopard FTW! -- Posted by Link01 at 9:48 am on Jan. 4, 2008 Curretnly xp after they clear more and more bugs out of vista the answer is vista -- Posted by Mieux at 9:43 am on Jan. 5, 2008 I like Vista, but it doesn't work well with my laptop's sound card. I installed the vista driver for it, but it still doesn't work right. Sound skips and it's screwy. I'm getting XP reinstalled. eh -- Posted by rand0mguy at 4:37 pm on Jan. 9, 2008 vistas a bitch... chews thro RAM like one too... get xp home... unless you wanna have a few additional apps like internet information servicesa dn other stuff that youll probably never use unless your a PRO... funny that.... i have an even better idea tho...
