XP is bloated and I know Vista/Longhorn will be even more so, it's like I said

Sooner or later Vista will be the required OS if you want to use any modern software, so all I can do is turn off and remove silly GUI elements that make things look pretty and other 'happy user' items

I voted for XP but there should be an option for win server 2003 and also the new BETa of VISTA.

good point dragon, and what about that windows edition that is for media computers? windows media center or something like that haha

its actually Windows XP Media Center 2005, its built off of Windows XP.

And i find windows XP to be the best, easiest interface, support for latest hardware, most drivers already installed, ect.

Almost forgot about good old media center. It's good for what its designed for but not much else. I suppose thats why they simply added it onto win XP and its easily changeable between the two. So really my votye has changed to mediacenter, because it has both win XP and the functionality of a digital media system as well.... BRILLIANT!!!

Well in the terms of stability, xp will lose definately
But its been 4 years of developements until vista was finaly released and i would go with xp, primarily because it has many functions of today and the universal operating system

thats mainly because XP tries to do too much to help out, as with win 2000 it did what was required and thats all, no fancy bells and whistles to cause problems.
