This laptop is running Vista, unfortunately. How I wish I could go back to XP, but I've got so much stuff on here that a format and re-install would take a week at least. Besides, I think I would void my laptop's warranty if I switched to XP. Not to mention I would need a legit copy of XP.... The only legit copy I have is an OLD version of XP Home SP1. However, it would take a day or two to fully update that. No, for the time being I think I'm forced to stick to Vista. I might dual-boot with Ubuntu further down the road though. Second year of college is all in Linux, and I suggested they used Ubuntu (they're using Debian right now) and they actually are considering it.
From a Vista user's opinion, Vista's not so bad once you disable UAC so you don't have so many program restrictions and you don't have that annoying Cancel/Allow bullshit.
But a few programs are still incompatible. For example, I tried installing Red Kawa's PSP Video 9 and I got a BSOD when I double-clicked the installer. Vista SP2 should have quite a few bugfixes though, and it just might be considered good after SP2.
I'm an OS maniac I got:
XP Home 32-bit
Vista Home Premium 32-bit
7 RC (Leaked) 32-bit
7 RC (Leaked) 64-bit
Ubuntu 9.04 (Virtual machine)
95 (on an old laptop)
