I'm looking at new computers and not sure that I want a lap top yet - but that isn't what I want to ask. Microsoft has come out with Vista but are still offering XP. My wife has Vista at work and the new version of Office 2007 (I think). It has been a horror story for her company. Reading a lot of posts on a computer web site, it seems that many are having the same problems - that Microsoft made changes just for the sake of making them and that many(most?) of the old appilcations will not work in Vista. I'm not sure that I'm seeing the correct story on the computer website. I do like XP and my Office '97, it's working well, but the PC is getting cranky and I think it's telling me it needs a new home.

So:

Vista - and why you like it and why I should
XP - and why the new PC should have it
