You have to buy a multi license of XP if you want to install it on multiple computers. A multi license version will cost more than a regular single license copy. As for vista I used it for a while when the Beta was first released and I know a few people who use it. Right now Vista has issues supporting some hardware and it can be hard to find drivers for things. However, these issues will improve as Vista gets older and Microsoft puts out more updates. If you are planning on Buying an operating system right now and your computer can support vista it may be more cost effective to get it now and wait out the bugs rather than buying XP at about $200 then buying Vista later.

I hope this helps.

Xp can only be activated on one computer at a time, copywrite laws you know, also to activate it you have to put in the activation code to Microsoft.

I had VISTA on a laptop I bought for my daughter and after 2 weeks of messing with it I wipped the hard drive and put XP on it. It works just fine. I would not recommend Vista untill the first SP comes out and see if it fixes the numerous bugs in the system.

you can only use xp on one system unless you purchase a mulitple xp license wich can be installed in so many computers.
i do not recommend vista due to the fact its a resource hog and they are now just updating hardware for it, and the fact numerous programs will not work on it. wait about a year before thinking vista.
