    Default Which operating system do you use?

    I'm currently curious to what operating system people are using, and why that operating system. I was in another forum and noticed a lot of users doing their usual vista bashing routine which I can't understand....
    I've used vista for about a year and a half now.... it's not bad, on older hardware, it can be a bit of a pain, but for newer hardware, it runs fine.

    I'm currently using Windows XP SP2 and Vista (Home Prem on my desktop, Business on one of my laptops)

    I have dual-boot of vista/XP on this machine and XP/Linux on other machine. Vista runs fine most of the time except for whe it comes to gaming I can gain about 30FPS in most games on XP vs Vista.

    I'm using XP on my 4 main machines. And windows server 2003 on my file/print-server.

    I've had Vista on my old laptop and it wasn't bad at all, but the older hardware made the system sluggish and slow. So I went back to XP just because it is lighter.

    Also the server 2003 machine will probably (hopefully) be swapped for a windows Home Server machine in the future. My roommate had a home server and it was very nice. The problem is I need new hardware to run home server

    I got Vista because when I built my computer recently I thought, "I could get the more stable and reliable XP, but sooner or later I'd have to upgrade anyway."
    So far I've been very happy with Vista, although maybe I'm only saying that because I've come from Windows 98!

    I've got XP because it runs fairly stable and I'm familiar with it... that and you can game on it. I plan on upgrading to Vista eventually but I don't have the cash yet.

    I liked vista, but I just don't have the ram for it right now...

    Also have XP64 on my wifes machine because go figure... it runs better and more stable despite what everyone else says.
