    XP or Vista

    I am going to get a new Dell computer. I have XP and love it, but I'm sure all the new ones have Vista. Anybody...what do you like best.

    I like them both. I have XP Pro Corp on my main partition and Vista on the other one. Vista is prettier, lol!

    Each have their benefits. Several programs I use are not compatible with Vista so I have a desktop with XP and one with Vista. Both of our laptops are Vista.

    We have both also and vista is alot faster. Course that may be because there isn't much on the new computer yet...

    VISTA has it's good points... but, even my new 'puter, I chose XP. I have printer, and scanner that won't work with VISTA, including some other programs.

    There is a new windows coming out soon... called "Windows 7", I heard that microsoft has 'shut the door on VISTA', and, opened "Windows 7" - they just haven't been able to sell the public on VISTA.

    Actually Windows 7 is an upgrade to Vista they are just trying to sell it as a new Windows cause Vista bombed out. (My Uncle works for Microsoft so I asked him what it was cause I HATE Vista).
