i still go for XP. Vista only looks good, and thats it.
it consumes a lot of your computer's resources and thats bigtime!
syempre, di mawawala compatibility issues, pero makakapag download ka naman ng updated versions ng drivers sa inet.
siguro, wait for vista SP2. this exactly what happened when they first released XP. and they "perfected" it when the released xp sp2. officially anounced by microsoft na obsolete na XP starting June, hindi na daw sila magrerelease ng updates. pero gagana pa naman mga old XPs natin, yun nga lang, there might coma a time na hindi na compatible yung mga bagong softwares sa XP. so, it either Vista or OS 10.5 na tayo.
