Reliable OS?

I am in the process of building a new machine used primarily for web and
Windows Server applications. Visual Studio, SQL Server, remote
connectivity, monitoring, etc. Would you consider Vista reliable and
dependable enough to use as a primary OS?

Sorry, I meant web and Windows Server applications development....

Windows Vista is, by far, the most secure and dependable
operating system available. By all means install and use it!

Thanks, I appreciate your feedback. However, based on my further reading,
it doesn't seem that a lot of others agree. XP SP2 has been very reliable
for me and I am simply afraid of making the move to Vista only to find that
I get lots of troubles.

Well, if you're trying to use a 64 bit version of Vista, then you might run
into trouble. I have had no problems using Vista Ultimate 32 bit in by Web
development. There are distinct advantages of using Vista and IIS7 over XP
Pro and IIS6. Just like the developers had to move to XP pro from Win 2k
pro, they are going to move to the Vista Business classed O/S(s) that are
running IIS7 so they can develop more powerful applications that take
advantage of Win 2k3 server and Win 2k8 server running IIS7.

You on drugs or something? Using Vista with Visual Studio is wrong. There
are patches for VS and still there are problems. Vista IS NOT ready for
prime time with the development suites.

Typical fanboy answer. KISS MICROSOFT A$$. Microsoft is Great. You
probably think that there is no need for a service pack!

OK, then. Looks like you've answered your own question.
See ya.

Well, I disagree. If you wish to install Windows XP,
an O/S fast approaching its intended end-of-life-cycle,
you won't be sorry. However, it is not as secure
and reliable as Windows Vista has proven to be.
