Default Windows XP or Vista?

Which one do you think is the best?

Windows XP or Windows Vista?

As per me i think that Vista is much better looking Windows but the biggest drop back is that it need a lot of system resources which is not a good thing. So i think Windows Vista has this big negative point otherwise it is really a good windows.

Apart from that some of the older equipment may not be having Vista drivers. It is better to stick with XP till these driver issues are sorted out. Also you need at least 1 GB RAM to run Vista properly.

Actually Vista is better in terms of look and feel - but the main problem is that it demands more resources and as I said earlier drivers for some devices do not exist.

I would say that Windows XP is the best operating system right now in market and there is no much better operating system then this one. So it woul be nice to go with it rather then the new Vista.

Both of these Operating System are good but i would still like to go with Window Xp as it does not eat a lot of system resources as Windows Vista does.
