I still have XP.  I don't think I've ever even used a computer that had Vista, so I don't know which one is better.

98's what I grew up with. Always seemed reliable, and even if I couldn't get the latest versions of most programs for it since it wasn't Second Edition, I still loved it.

Vista's what I'm using now. Trust me, it's way better than what the internet/"P.C. Vs. Mac" commercials would have you believe. It runs smoothly, looks cool, I like the way things are laid out, and it's, quite truthfully, very reliable.

Tough call...

All of you need to try Ubuntu at least once in your life before you make the final call as to what operating system you prefer.

If I'm not mistaken, my parents' computer uses XP.  And I'm positive that's what my laptop uses.

And before this thread came into existence, TW had assured me that I would get along well with Vista.

I have a Mac, and I work with Vista a lot. Personally, I prefer XP over Vista.

Yeah, My old comp had XP and I liked it but then things started going wrong with it a lot and things are looking better with Vista.

I heard Microsoft is working on a new OS, called something along the lines of "Midori." I can only wonder how well that'll work out...

And I use XP.

I think you mean Windows 7. That's old news.

Windows 7 is also just a re-skinned Vista that's somehow better than Vista...

It also uses RAM far more efficiently, so there's a much smoother interface and much less lag. I've heard reports of people using windows 7 and they all say that it's much much much better experience than Vista.

Also, could you unblock me on your PMs? I wanna talk about some of the Saturn games I've been playing.
