I see in the polls that vista is 37.21% over XP 22.48% Thats because Vista was made for the future to run on all new systems, Not for the old systems

Actually Vista is 65% right now. Vista Ultimate is at 37% but you forgot to add in Vista Home Premium and Vista Business.
 
Dual booting Vista Ultimate x64 and Vista Ultimate x86, but haven't used x86 hardly any since upgrading from 2GBs to 6GBs of Ram, I just keep it around in case I need to try to duplicate a problem for troubleshooting.
 
Windows XP 32 bit here. Still waiting to pull the trigger on a new build to migrate over to Vista
 
well i have triple boot, basically what i have is:

WinXP 32bits - for CADs, graphic stuff, and some gaming
Vista Ultimate 64bits - for DX10 games only, i really like how it looks, love the DreamScenes :)
Linux Gentoo - for everything else
 
Multiple answers would be good....

Vista HP x86 on two machines
XP Pro X64 on my laptop
XP x86 on my kids computers (three)
Ubuntu 7.10
Fedora 8

All folding 24/7 in addition to 4 dedicated boxen running notfred's *nix CD:)

Vista 64 Ultimate - game/consulting machine
Server 2003 - Consulting laptop
XP Pro - Wife's laptop
XP Pro - Kid's laptop

"you forgot to add in Vista Home Premium"

Well if you go to Newegg.com

Vista Home Premium 32bit @42% and 278 reviews Excellent and 186 reviews good.it score beats all the bad reviews.

Vista Home Premium 64bit @52% and 192 reviews Excellent and 117 reviews good.

Vista Ultimate 32bit @45% 196 reviews Excellent and 120 reviews good.

Vista Ultimate 64bit @50% with 178 reviews Excellent and 105 good

Vista Business 32bit @33% with 26 reviews Excellent and 20 reviews good.

So there you go 64bit Home Premium has the Highest score out of the Vista range

But the highest reviews is the "Vista Home Premium 32bit"

:):)
 
I forgot to add the OLD OS for OLD Computers

Wndows XP Professional with SP2 32bit @76% but only have 55 reviews Excellent and 10 reviews good .

Wndows XP Professional with SP2 64bit @49% with 42 reviews Excellent and 24 reviews good.

Windows XP Home with SP2 32bit @56% with 98 reviews Excellent and 47 reviews good.

Now XP has been out longer than Vista but as a very poor rate of reviews
:p
 
Windows 2000 on this box, it's the one I don't mess with so I always have a working computer :rolleyes:

My gaming rig is XP

I bought an Acer L310 at wallyworld so I could play around with Vista, it has Basic installed but I'm about ready to wipe it.

I have a few other boxes that I use to play with linux and BSD

I'm on the lookout for an "old" Mac to run OSX.

It's a small pool though, most likely the same couple of hundred people voting that voted in the last poll. I don't get into the Vista vs. XP crap, but I will point out there were 250 million PCs sold last year and 100 million had Vista licenses...that's not good... although somebody here will try and put a positive spin on it i'm sure. Out of those 100 million licenses they didn't count the PCs that were downgraded to XP or another OS. I know a few people that work for various computer chains and they told me that about 40%-50% of the brand name machines they sell with Vista preloaded are downgraded to XP as per customer request. I really don't care myself and there's no way to prove the 40%-50% figure, it could be exaggerated.
 
XP Pro 32 bit here only because Primavera P5 (our company project management software) won't work in Vista =(
 
What's the point of separating XP 32bit and 64bit and not Vista 32bit and 64bit versions in the poll?

I also concur that a poll such as this needs multiple choices.

I currently run:

Vista Ult. x64 (Development/Freelance/Photography/ImageEditing/CG/Gaming/Daily--the ultimate multi-task FTW!)
Vista Business 32bit (Test/Development)
XP Pro 32bit (Test/Development)
Windows Server 2003 (File Server/Backup Management/Media Streaming)
Windows Server 2003 (Test/Development)
Windows Server 2008 (Test/Development)
SuSE 10.3 (Laptop/Personal/Email/Browsing/on-the-go Image Managment and upload)

Presumably because XP and XP x64 are radically different operating systems, whereas Vista 32/64 are fairly similar....at least, that's my impression.
 
Desktop - Dual boot Vista Business 64 and Windows XP Pro 32 (pretty much only use Vista though)
Laptop - Windows XP Pro 32
 
Windows Vista Ultimate x64 SP1 - Main computer
Windows Vista Business SP1 - Laptop (currently infected w/Storm Worm and getting cleaned by University IT)
Windows XP Media Center 2005 - Mom's custom machine
 
Vista ultimate x64 on main machine
Premium 64 on the media PC I made for the bedroom instead of buying a blu ray player
Premium 32-bit on the main media PC (OEM came on it)
Premium 32-bit on wife's Mac running in Parallels
Windows home server on old POS
2003 server on a dell sc430. several virtual servers on that

I have too many comps

I did the vista ultimate family package where 2 home premium upgrades were only $ 50 bucks or so each if you got Ultimate
