Answer 1

I have been using xp for ages on my families computer but i recently got a new laptop which has vista on it. i wasn't sure at first because i had heard heaps of stuff like vista wasn't very good. But now i have it and it's fine nothing has gone wrong with mine i actually quite like it. But the only thing is that when you have a file or document on vista and go to load it on a computer with xp you have to install a free software from microsoft that converts the vista to xp. Once i installed this though it converts quickly. Vista is good!!

Answer 2

If you are happy with XP there are not too many reasons to upgrade to Vista,  Vista may be more secure, but if you are careful and keep everything up to date it should be fine.  Vista does look better than XP, but if you are happy with XP and don't know why you would rather have Vista, just wait until your next computer.  

Answer 3

Vista is better.It also depends on what the computers specs are.

Answer 4

Vista imo

Answer 5

My friends, you might have just started quite a debate ;D Best of luck to you!

Personally, as an IT student. Vista is "better" in terms of Operating System simplicity and power nothing comes close. Plus it looks and feels soooo goooodd...

But,

Vista has been known to be incompatible with a very wide range of software, this is not vista per say but the software developers.

Thats my 2 cents

I got a new computer with vista home premium on it, and I love it. There are no problems with it. Most new software works on it. I f you have old software hen it might not work, but pretty much all new software works on it.
