Right long story short. My new PC I got was faulty, sent it back today, hoping to get a refund, then getting a dell (slightly higher spec).
Now then, It comes with Windows Vista Home. I however own 2 versions of XP. I did have Vista when it first came out, and threw it under my bed a few days later
However I'm not one of these guys who is going to live under a rock for the rest of my life so I am willing to give Vista another go.
Just wondering, If service pack 1 has improved things at all?. I remember all the screen fading combined with the loading icon continuously going around and around drove me insane, does that occur less often?
Don't forget to vote in the poll as to which you use!

Id be very interested to hear from XP die-hards like myself who changed to Vista and didn't return to XP.
