  Vista = Be sure you have 4GB of RAM or more.

  If it's a laptop go with xp, you'll be much happier. If your going with a desktop and it's fast enough, get Vista. I've been running it for sometime and it's pretty sweet if you have a FAST machine. It's rumored that the Windows 7 upgrade will only work by installing it over a copy of Vista. Microsoft did this because with XP there was a way to hack the upgrade to act and install like the retail version (which was much more expensive). Generally speaking upgrading a version of Windows is a really bad idea, since it's not the same as a clean install. So basically I still recommend Vista, but I wouldn't personally use the 7 upgrade....unless you can do a clean install with it.
