[QUOTE="etheesdad, post: 514159, member: 84335"] its swings and roundabouts. There are a number of posts on this forum asking the same question and no definitive answer as to which is 'better' as ultimately it comes down to a matter of personal taste. EVR is a decider for some people. Also sleep issues with one os or the other (or related drivers) can be a deal breaker. Do a title search in the Forum for "XP OR VISTA" (with quotes) and Im sure you'll see plenty of information to make your own decision. Personally speaking Ive used both and these days use W7 for no other reason than that it does sleep/resume more reliably on my machine. If you were to ask my opinion, I'd say, start with whichever one you like better, and if you run into any issues then try the alternative :) I would add the rider to that though that if the machine is low on ram/cpu then that changes the equation - as you would know, Vista is not a fun OS on a machine that cant run it adequately. For a 'current' build, though, its probably equivalent speed-wise. [/QUOTE]
