I have a desktop with XP SP2 and it works fine.We have 3 xp computer, 5 printers, fax modem ect on Windows XP for the last few years working on a network after upgrading from Windows 98. Xp proved to be a relieable system....NEVER had any computers lock up, internet and home network worked without any problems UNTIL we decided to upgrade one of the older computers with the only OS system now available.....VISTA. WORST MISTAKE WE EVER MADE......cannot network, computers see each other, (after the wonderful Microsoft patch) but will not communicate. The Vista computer connot find the printers, and since it's activation, the other XP computers keep on "locking-up".
I am planning on buying a laptop and want to know if I should get
XP or Vista in my new PC. I hear there are Vista problems.
Comments welcome.
Thank you

IF YOU CAN STILL FIND XP, GOT FOR IT. You will save yourself hours and days of
trying to reconfigure something that should work from the start. STAY AWAY FROM VISTA!!!!!!
Vista works best on a new state of the art machine and not some machine that's classified as a door stop that you were running Windows 9'x on it.
Did you even go back to the manufacturer's site to down load the drivers for the make and model of the computer based on the O/S being used?
There is probably nothing that you could have downloaded from the manufacturer's site for the make and model of that door stop that applied to Vista.
