Well im sticking with xp.
Maybe switch to vista in a year or two, but at the mo im more than happy with xp, i don't see the point in changing it as it does exactly what i want.

Anyway vista will be full of problems, like xp was when that first came out.

Bill gates said XP will be supported till 2011 so no worries there

I will be getting vista as soon as its available via torrent

Store · 2nd February 2007, 15:16

Why don't people try a user friendly linux like winlinux, its a Linux based operating system with all the windows goodies and the best thing yet its legally free! and another good thing its near enough security tight apart from the od virus or 2

lol no i dont think so. but it might not be far off that. i think maybe for the next 2 years. but then again i have windows xp mce 2005 so they should keep supporting that for a few years if what they are goin on about is right.

everyone is saying its full of bugs / security threats etc etc - how do you know this? just because previous vesions have had doesnt mean this one will, think about it - im sure they will have put all the xp updates security etc into vista, so unless you have vista you cant really comment.

however i will be installing it this weekend on mine so ill let you know what i think

How do i know this? I have used it and the huge number of reports from ALL the major security companies all around the world highlighting the huge glaring holes in it.

Even if they have looked at the current holes in XP and thought about them its a whole new OS with those holes and new holes in it. XP is full of holes as it is.

Also heres just one of the huge holes vista is already know to have http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/6320865.stm

The first thing you need to realise is its a microsoft product which means its going to have error's / bugs!

I would go for MAC as i know they are very decent machines but they arnt much good for gaming but excellent for media so i have heard.
