XP. I probably won't buy Vista for a year or two once they buff out all the bumps and bugs.

On a side not, it's going to be interesting seeing what happens with Apple. AMD and ATI are pals now. And with dx10 and AMD making chips for PCs....well, we'll see. Compatibility might be an issue, it might not.

I'll probably upgrade. Vista seems to do better from the bat compared to the hell XP had getting off the ground (compatibility issues with older apps, etc..)

getting Vista.. i've held off getting a graphics card because when i upgrade my system i want it to be upgraded to DX10. so that means a DX10 vid card +vista.
plus from what they say, and even the reviews of it thus far all say, its going to be a much better system to run games on.



last i heard tho its coming out early next year, it was delayed from being released later this year.

I'll probably wait to get Vista when I get a new PC later next year. As for Leopard, my soon to be fiance is getting a new Mac laptop soon also, so I'll have the best of both worlds.

true, but even how they have been, they're still enough of an improvment over xp to make it worth it. but im just getting it for dx10, everything else is just a bonus. if dx10 was on xp i probably woudnt really care about vista all that much.
