is vista still crap or have updated drivers sorted the crap out?
oh and what the difference between the 64 bit and 32 bit version. to a chimp like me 64 bit sounds a damn site better, is this true?

Vistas alright, still got a lot of issues with it. (I've got xp on desktop and vista on lappy)
Going to change the lappy over to xp or linux soon though, all the little annoyances have just racked up for me.
-Edit-
Also apparently vista 64 is a lot better than 32
As for 32 and 64 bit, not really sure on everything but I believe 64 bit xp allows you to make use of more than 2gb of memory.
Again not really sure so might be wrong.

I spend a lot of time converting peoples pcs from vista to xp.
I think xp is faster, more stable and more compatible.Just stick with sp2. dont bother with xp3. there always seems to be a program or 2 that wont work with vista.and you can always just use style xp and make it look like vista if you want
Is you want to upgrade, i suggest you wait for window 7, it will be what vista should have been
