I use XP the entertainment addition. I have heard that Vista sucks, and I agree. It dose. No offence to who uses it however. Even the workers at local shops have told me not to buy it.

vista does not suck, it is just as good as xp, ever program that I had on xp I have on vista, and vista is much more user friendly.

Nah Vista does not suck. I have not had any problems with it yet. Only thing people have been telling me is gaming would be faster if I had XP but I get 70 fps on average in WOW so, I am sticking to it.

Vista is meant to contain many bugs. Also when you buy simple applications such as printers. They tend not to work without having to download patches of the Internet.

Yeah that's the only thing I know about Vista for sure. Everything for me has worked. There's been a lot of stuff people told me before I bought it such as Itunes not being able to work and such. But whatever I like it.

okay, my new tower i just got has vista home premium, my wifes laptop have vista home basic, my mom's laptop has xp pro sp2 my dads new laptop is running vista basic. my tvpc (yep i have one for watching movies and tv shows or for showing photos its like a media center pc i guess) but its running xp pro sp2.

i hate macs can't figure anything out on those so refuse to use them...
linux.. well i used it when i was alot younger and mischievious. but just found i can do just as much on windows as i can on linux so really no use in dual boot.

and i think thursday im going to be picking up a laptop just to surf the net with at a pc expo here in knoxville for 129 if all goes well. don't know what os it'll have don't really care just need it to surf the net so doesn't really matter.

Windows XP. I have no intention of upgrading to Vista. When I purchase a new computer, it will have a Mac OS.
