Seems like everyone (myself included) has kicked Vista under the bus, i'm curious of what your current OS (or OS's) of choice are; running MSServer 2003 R2 Enterprise here, how about you?

XP on one and Vista on the other. They are both nice. I understand the XP better but the Vista is cool.  angel

XP on the Desktop and Vista on the Laptop! Vista is different but I'm getting used to it and its not that bad so far. Just another learning experience.  wink

vista....i honestly don't see anything wrong with it. That said, i don't have any special computer needs that some users might need and keep them off of vista. I tried ubuntu linux but it seems that it offers more control that i bargained for so i stay away from it.

mine's XP Pro on desktop & laptop.

I like Vista also, after i add another 1gig of RAM on my desktop, that should help a bit.

Notice: Someone managed to trim down Windows Vista to run on Pentium III pc's with 256mb RAM. I don't know it's true or not  grin

Of late been playing with diffrent flavors of xp pro. Thats Xp pro modified in diffrent ways. I use my legit key. Some really good stuff out there.

The people that put these together are just Super Smart. Some super boot up options. Really like tinyxp, LastXp, And essentials 2.
