which one is better...windows xp or vista Premium?

Can someone help me?

Thank-you

 

I'd say it depends on personal preference but for me i say go with vista home premium all the way.

 

Its pure personal preference, there's no better version (although Microsoft would say Vista Home Premium is better, but as of now there still are issues with Vista, while XP is pretty solid).

 

They are both fine. Your question is a bit too broad. Its just a question if you want to pay more for vista.

 

For me the answer is Vista. However, spending over $100 for the upgrade? Nah.

 

for future-proof. i would say vista.

 

you can't compare two different versions of the o.s's

 

Vista is much better. No, XP is. No, on second thought, Vista. Reconsidering, I think XP. On the other hand ...

 

^Better stick to one.

 

i think XP is the safest bet, much more stable and fool proof.

but vista is totally future proof and stable.

i picked vista. eventually everyone will switch. from 95 -98, 98 to xp. xp to vista.

 

I've hardly used XP since getting Vista in June.

 

I'd have to disagree...both OS's are solid and stable. If this is for a new computer Vista Home Premium is the obvious answer. If your computer has less than 1GB RAM or is more than 2-3 years old, choose Windows XP.

There are no issues with Vista, there's just people who've become really stupid and/or impatient all of a sudden when using a computer, without understanding the proper knowledge of a computer. Thus all they will do is complain.

Vista Home Premium for the new computer, Windows XP for the old computer.

 

Same here...ever since getting my laptop about two months ago I have barely used XP on my desktop...now I've even installed Vista on it and use it exclusively on both my computers.

 

both OS are quite good. Vista is more visually appealing and does offer more features and security benefits. It is constantly improving and like XP, it will eventually become accepted by almost everyone.

 

It doesn't make sense if you have a configuration choice at this time to NOT get Vista over XP. Cuz eventually you'll hafta pay $$$ to upgrade when everything moves to Vista, so why not just get Vista now and get it over with? It's not like it's some terrible unstable buggy monster that crashes every 2 minutes. It's really stable in my experience. The downside is it's a resource hog compared to XP, but then again each new OS generation change, people complain how resource hungry the new OS is (i remember how many people complained about XP needing 512ram to run it's best was unreasonable lol)

 

I sure don't miss writing autocoder in 16K machines, or emulating it on the S/370, even. Vista takes more than XP? That's progress.
