I use vista... I HATE IT!!!
Either dual boot or i would just use XP. Also if your going to play games get xp vista isnt compatible with a lot of them.

I just got a new laptop about a month ago, and i got Vista home premium and i don't see why everyone is so against it. I like the layout and i haven't had any issues.
Also i agree with starfireone who said XP is on the way out. I think eventually Vista will be the main OS for Windows.
The only thing that took me a moment to work out when i got Vista, was how to transfer my Outlook emails from my XP laptop to my Vista laptop. This confused me at first because Vista uses a new thing called Windows Mail. But it was only a small bump in the road, because i got all emails transferred to my Vista PC quite quickly.

Depends on what you are using your laptop for. For usual stuff, like Office, business applications, and such, use Vista. For massive gaming and such, XP is the best.
