Windows Vista vs Windows XP

Me too, I'm sticking with xp for all the ussual reasons, but will probably go for vista fairely soon.

Indeed, I ordered 4gigs of ram with my new comp, against the day that I upgrade to vista.

As another Orgah wrote, I'm gonna ride XP 'till the wheels fall off. Besides, good things are coming for the old school.

After pronouncing Windows Vista SP1 a "performance dud" two weeks ago, Devil Mountain Software, a Florida-based software development firm, reported that an upcoming update for Windows XP will offer substantial performance gains.

Running an Office productivity test suite on a preview version of Service Pack 3 for Windows XP, Devil Mountain discovered a 10 percent performance boost over the current version of Windows XP, the company reported on its blog.

I read about that today Lemur and the source I read it from also said the testers are a bit biased towards XP (sorry, no nickel for you).
Of course in this office benchmark XP was twice as fast as Vista anyway which isn't really what my personal experience shows.
