[QUOTE="SpudR, post: 284203, member: 54104"] Vista's fundamentally flawed (just google the issues people are having with it) - New version of Windows should be available by the end of next year (2009). On the flip side... I have recieved notification from M$, actively TELLING suppliers to stop selling XP and "provide a strong business case for Vista" - somoething I WONT be doing... XP goes end of life in a few months too... IMHO... MP works VERY well in XP - I regulary leave my HTPC in standby mode, the remote works flawlessly, the audio sounds great and the video quality looks fine on my plasma (you should not notice much difference betwwen VMR9 and EVR unless you have a +40" screen IMHO - even HD is difficult to tell!). EVR IS better but not enough to make the OS change - the Vista issues just aren't worth the hassle! Your decision... (this is AN OPINION! I really don't want to get into the "Vista vs. XP" debate AGAIN!!) :) [/QUOTE]
