Which is better: XP or Vista?

Question

I have Vista, and I think it's exceptionally better than Windows XP.

Answer 1

Actually, Dell is charging a premium price to install XP on new computers per the customers request. So many customers have asked this, that they implemented the fee and service.

So to sum up, it's really a matter of opinion. Mine is XP. But then again, I just bought a Mac and am NEVER going back to PC. :-)

Answer 2

vista has a lot of improvements and is the best, xp is really good though, linux is Very Good considering its free and macintosh is the shittest operating system ever made, id rather have DOS!!!!

Answer 3

Hey man , I have both XP and Vista and it really depends on wat kind of a person you are. like if you like trying something new i would go with vista but if you like having the easy and old xp then thats for you so yeah man it all depends on the personality of you.

Answer 4

depends on what your doing with it. i use XP on my gaming PC but once i upgrade the board and CPU i will probably get the new microsoft OS. Vista is alot safer then XP for general users who don't know how to protect their PC but is heavy if the system wasn't built right for it.

Answer 5

vista

Answer 6

Vista is much more modern and better in some ways like it has a whole new cool style to it and has better software, but it does not have some things you need to play games or stuff. It all depends on what you use your computer most for.

Answer 7

Better for what?

XP is better in the sense it has been around longer, its more stable.  

Vista is better for future programs, maybe more secure, Nicer looking.  

Each have there pros and cons and so you aren't going to get some perfect answer.

I use XP and Vista.  I enjoy Vista a lot.  I don't use it all the time because I don't have Office installed in Vista (only in XP)  so if I want to type things up I need to go into XP.  

I plan on buying the new office soon so I well start to use Vista more and more.  

Answer 8

XP  for gaming  

Answer 9

XP is better than vista because a lot of softwares cannot support vista and a lot of allowances on vista.
