My XP computer is on it's last legs and i need a new one. My question is should i buy an Vista or XP on my new machine? I've heard a lot of bad news about Vista. Is it just lies?
 
In the beginning Vista was poor, lots of incompatible problems with anti-virus and graphic card drivers.

This is now history. If you do a search for Vista, you will find a thread with people talking about if they would go back to XP from Vista. From what I've read +85% of people would never ever go to XP.

Make of that what you will.
 
The only time you may get a problem is if you build your own PC and use any old hardware like a sound card or Network Adapter

There may not be specific Vista drivers for these devices

If you buy a brand new PC with Vista already installed, or build a PC with current up to date hardware, Vista will work OK
 
I've heard it can be very RAM hungry, is this true?
