| 734808 | 2009-01-03 23:06:00 | Hi Everyone I'm trying to choose a OS to buy at the shops and I'm hoping that you could help me out? I think I posted a poll with this thread. Thanks |

| 734809 | 2009-01-03 23:07:00 | Vista or Windows 7.... not XP (unless your hardware can't support it) What spec is your PC? Looking at your poll - DO NOT GET Vista Home basic. It doesn't have the Aero effects and looks like crap IMO. Get Home Premium instead. Also, don't go to retail stores for it. Best to go online and buy OEM software - much, much cheaper :) Check out ascent.co.nz vs www.dse.co.nz |

| 734810 | 2009-01-03 23:14:00 | Depends what you want to do. Nothing wrong with XP. Even tho its old, so what, its stable / reliable It also depends on how old your system is (if its not new). Older systems probably wouldnt handle vista or V7 And probably wouldnt have drivers either |

| 734812 | 2009-01-03 23:30:00 | Windows xp sp3 ROCKS!! i use it. more for its performance over vista. but its also really stable and isnt a system hog with thousands of glitches. Im using home edition so im voting for that! P.S brought my xp home edition sp3 from playtech.co.nz for 166$ incl gst and postage |

| 734813 | 2009-01-03 23:39:00 | although I have XP home I voted for pro as my wife has it and it has some extra features that I wish I had on mine. I'm not ready to make the change as don't want to upgrade my hardware yet | gary67 (56) | ||

| 734816 | 2009-01-04 03:42:00 | I prefer XP Pro, as stated before, stable and reliable. Vista... I guess it's not a bad OS, but in comparison to XP's reliability and stability it lacks enough reason to choose it over XP... in my opinion. Cheers, |

| 734817 | 2009-01-04 06:23:00 | What hardware are you going to run and what software are you going to use? That's like asking what car one would prefer without knowing a budget or intended purpose. | beeswax34 (63) | ||
