I was worried about switching to Vista because I heard it was a memory hog and is cpu intensive, so I thought I would see lower performance in games, until I read this artice:

It really clears up a lot of things about Vista.

I have Vista 32bit with 3,5 GB of ram recognized. I'm planning to change to 64bit very soon.

Vista 64 here. Only serious OS, to take advantage of you're serious rig.

Still on XP 32. Don't feel like paying for a Vista Key when I have a Volume License key from my school for XP.

I run a dual boot setup. I found Vista to be fine. There were initial headaches with security issues but those were resolved and now I run Vista and don't even think about it.

Plus my new laptop came with Vista and I've been running it for 4 months without a second thought.

For me it was the greatest thing ever. It even got higher fps/load times on games.

I'm skipping Vista and going to Windows 7 since it's going to be release around the time as my next major rebuild. Until then I will just be doing small upgrades.
