They took XP, threw it in a blender and puréed it, them poured it in the
sandbox at the Nanny's house to dry.
By rearranging everything, and adding a Nanny (called User Access Control),
they claim it is more secure.
IF you are buying a new computer, with a 2 Ghz or better dual core CPU and
at least 2 GB RAM and 256 MB or better graphics, you may get along ok with
it.
If you're thinking of upgrading existing hardware, forget it.
You're better off sticking with a mature OS until you get new hardware.
Others may have a different opinion, but that is mine.

Run the Vista Upgrad Advisor and see what it says.

If you don't have a really powerful machine, I would recommend staying
away from the fancy-schmancy versions with the "Aura" interface. Home
Basic is recommended for less-capable machines.

Hi Pedro,

There are a lot of differences, far too numerous to list here. Some basics
to consider: XP was designed around hardware available in 2000-2001, Vista
around 2006-2007. If your components are older than 3 years, then XP is
likely to be a better choice. You also need to look at what you plan on
doing with the computer, ie: what software you are planning on running.
Check each program for OS compatibility, as that may also help you determine
which OS to choose based on what is required to run it.

Sorry for challenging you for the first time, but...

Does that imply XP cannot take advantages of today's hardware?

Yes.

Especially laptops.

Thank you

I failed to find any creditable source for that kind of benchmark, so could
you kindly provide one?

I don't need Vista vs. XP as that is not my interests. I only need those
can show why and how XP cannot take advantages of today's hardware and/or
especially for laptops.

Thanks in advance.

Mainly because the manufacturers aren't providing XP drivers for them.
