Vista is fine for laptops, But for desktops, I would still prefer XP. It's the best.

Can you please give me the reason why it is fine with laptops? It it because laptop now has higher speed for processor than the desktop?

I regret to hear that. I heard that vista is not compatible also with other drivers not just for printer.

I think Windows xp is better than windows vista as xp is most common and easy to use and its look and style is very impressive that attracts people even after 6 years... Keep posting!!!

Windows xp is better, as compare to windows vista, windows vista is still in a trial stage and the system is quite meticulous and there are lots of securities in it.

I like XP alot better than vista. I have vista on my laptop and both my parents have vista on their laptops. But I do still have XP on my desktop. I really dont see a big difference in the two. I know that vista has better security fetures, which in my opinion can get annoying at times. Also vista has a better search feature to it which is one good thing about vista. But for now I would stick to XP. If you plain on buying a new computer pretty much all of them come with vista pre installed already.

Hands down XP is at the moment. IF MS will get its act together and get vista fixed it has the potential to be a far superior home system, but that all depends on them getting their act together. My rule of thumb is don't buy an OS until sp2 is released.

I much prefer XP over vista, and I'll tell you why... Most people hate vista for the sole reason that it's so freaking different from all the other systems and stuff. But If people would just switch, they would find that vista is MUCH easier to use lol
