The two are equally stable in my opinion.

I don't recall there being any folder views that weren't in Windows 2000. There were even icon previews. The only thing that I liked about XP was the image preview window which was light and fast, but there's an equivalent program with Microsoft Office 2003 which solved that problem, too.
XP has that "Windows Picture and Fax Viewer", folder thumbnails (if I recall correctly) looked aweful on Windows 2000, when trying to AIM someone a picture, you couldnt get thumbnail view on 2000 last I remembered, and I just like the overall look of XP better than the old 2000.

I only said that legal copies of Vista are not cheap. Any URL of a shop that sells it for cheap?

Devil, mate - I know it's out of context but don't turn yourself into an Excalibur. We all know what happened to him. You're a good guy just turn down the mildly accusative posts a little.

They've taken 16% off of Ultimate already.. I got it for alot cheaper than this, and it is a real copy, registered to my name.

It's not cheap though?

I don't even know that website, it's the first one I found.

You could always rely on Vista users in the community if Cyberjouers really can't afford $159 home premium...

Home premium OEM (comparable to XP Home, which, keep in mind, is over 5 years old) - $120
XP Home OEM - $90
Home Basic OEM - $85

People often say Vista is very expensive, but they always use the Ultimate version to justify themselves.
Microsoft is overcharging Europe, though.

We have "Ultimate"
I was just arguing against Devil saying that "vista is cheap as hell" when in fact it isn't (from the price), and Vista is not really recommended for gamers right now (in my point of view). A lot of people have reported graphical problems, although they don't happen to me even with the basic default drivers for Nvidia cards.
Windows is not a system where you code a program and it will work everywhere, you basicly need to debug it everywhere.

I thought this initially but I haven't really had any issues with Vista for games aside from the tile issues and random crashes with Graal. The only problem I've had are with games that have GameGuard. GameGuard made it so Vista couldn't access its license information so it kept telling me my license was no longer valid with a reason of: Access denied.
