Personally I'd stick with XP and recommend others to do the same. Vista has no redeeming features about it that would make me want to use it again, I just dumped it off a new Laptop and went back to XP. Vista has a some compatibility problems with software and hardware still, but if you buy a Laptop that's designed for Vista then it should work.
