Windows XP VS Vista. This battle has been going for about 2 years now. Which is better? From my own personal experiences I would have to say… thay are about equal. What I look for in an Operating System (OS) is speed, convenience, and a good GUI(Graphical User Interface). Vista is better looking but a lot slower. XP has a worse GUI but is A LOT faster.
Windows XP
- Pretty good speed.
- Decent GUI, if you change the horrible default blue that is.
- Seems to be more stable.
- Trusted by many
Windows Vista
- Very nice GUI if you are running the Aero theme.
- Speed is decreased a lot if you run the Aero theme
- Vista doesn’t seem to be as stable as XP, it seems like they were in a hurry to release a new OS
Right now I am running Windows XP 32-bit. The main reason I am running XP is I was having difficulties reinstalling Vista even though I had had it installed once before. For now I think I will be sticking with “Good Ole XP” but in the future I will eventually switch back to Vista.
What are your thoughts on XP or Vista? Which do you think is better? Also, do you run something else beside a Windows OS? I’d like to know, and hear your opinions.

Well I agree with you that Vista is slower than XP but I think I disagree that Vista has a better GUI. If you mean that it looks better than XP then sure, I agree. But the usability of the GUI is not as intuitive. Finding things and the work flow in Vista is lacking and things don’t make sense.
To tell you the truth after about a year of this and the urge to go to Vista because I like to have the latest and greatest, I took a totally different route and am running OSX.

How much does a million feathers weigh?
Everyone wants their computer to do EVERYTHING, safely and securely… but with no OS bloat! Well, it doesn’t work that way! I suppose the windows code COULD be more refined; just not if you want your new OS delivered YESTERDAY!
It often takes years to debug and streamline computer code. Really, it’s a wonder that an OS like Windows runs AT ALL, as fast as it gets pushed onto the store shelves!

I’ve ran both Vista and XP. In my opinion, my main objective is to get all of my peripherals to work with and OS and vista doesn’t allow that…..I truly don’t understand. if the Software and drivers were available before why can’t they work on the new OS?…..they were available before hand…….it don’t make sense…….
For now and till Windows 7 I think I’m going to stick with XP……
Ciao VISTA, (Windows ME COUSIN).

I am seriously considering changing my laptop (came with the purchase), to windows xp. I don’t get the speed that xp does. It locks up often and the downloads do not address the fixes and improvements that vista has. They are more interested in the security issue downloads. I am not sure though, about what will this laptop has inbeded to mess up the conversion. Vista does not have the informative lead to keep me going while in use, having to pause to figure my logic. I had this system for over a 8 months. Not happy!!
I want my mony back!!!
