What function does VISTA offer you that is not available in XP?
The chances are that unless you have need of some bleeding edge new technology like restrictive DRM or exessivly showy interface as well as having the money for a top end PC there is nothing that VISTA can offer you. Heck if fancy UI is all you want then have a play with SUSI Linux 10.1 which has a 3D desk top.
If you have stacks of cash and are starting from scratch then maybe otherwise stick with the OS that has been around long enough that support is not going to cost you two arms and three legs.
You probably feel like you should grab the latest product but these things take years to create and even then they are only shipped because the dev money ran out. It'll be at least three years before the kinks are ironed out and the hardware support is good enough.

Windows XP is 100% better than Windows Vista.

When looking to buy a new computer, I did some research and found out that there were many negatives with Vista then XP.
We have XP and still works fine and happy with it.
I have not bought a new computer because of Vista already being installed in the new computers, so I will just hang on to old faithful.

At the moment, it's kind of a draw.
Both are good... however, everything is compatible with XP by now; there's still a lot to do before the computer and internet are fully Vista friendly.
I've got Vista, and have liked it greatly, however: I have many devices (mp3 players, etc.) that are not compatible. Also, there are many internet items I would like to use; I cannot because they are not able to be used with Vista.

XP.
I'd wait till Vista comes out with a couple of Service Packs before taking it, if I were you.
Besides, it's only good on x64 and x84 systems with over 2 GB RAM.
If you'd like to get the look of Vista without having the huge, space consuming XHTML stuff that Vista comes with, you'd do better to download and install the Crystal XP Vista Inspirat 2.
Since Vista is in xhtml, you'll find many device drivers don't work on it.
It'll be quite a while before the device drivers for your printer, speakers, DVD ReWriters etc start to work well on Vista.
Cheers!

XP is way better at the momet, because its less of drain on system resources and there is soo much support ( drivers..) for xp out on the net.
But saying that, in a few years ( maybe less ) vista will be just as good and computers will handle it no problem
