Stick with Vista .... until you get problems like it losing your IP settings every time it goes into sleep mode... then change.
My TV is broken!

I've had two machines on Vista Ultimate x64 which were put to sleep regulary, neither lost they're fixed IP settings..0 -
When I got a new PC recently I was a bit suspicious about Vista but it's not much different to XP on functionality and looks much better. Vista's the way!0

Exactly my problem... no-one could help because apparently I was the only person in the whole wide world it happened to. :rolleyes: At least, it wasn't 'known' to happen with the version I was using.
That's why I'm back on XP.My TV is broken!

If this was a year ago I would advise avoid Vista like the plague. A Microsoft engineer who installed my system, XP pro, February 2007 said that he was spending the majority of his time rectifying bugs / problems with Vista. I haven't spoken to him for about a year so things may have improved.
However, I have other problems with Microsoft products such as IE 8 so when I start my appraisal for a new system I will be looking for non Microsoft alternatives.Rob0 -

Which is why I still think Vista is a mess, allow users to disable this and they will install anything often malware with no idea at all. This coupled with a lack of secure driver signing are two examples of a poor operating system in the 21st century.0
