Hi,
I can only supply my personal feelings here, I hope that is what you are after.
1. Xp is cheaper.
2. There are fewer resources available now for 7 but that will change.
3. I think they are about equal, in most areas, and each is faster in some areas.
4. XP has been reliably breaking down for years, give 7 a go and it may be better or worse.
In summery, I am staying with XP as my every day OS, but I am trying to keep 7 up to date and play with it every now and again.

Well XP wont be supported for much longer.
Secondly, its hardware support SUCKS. No native IPV6, No native Wifi, No native SATA.
Would not recommend for new builds. Its just too old now.

Many games that run on XP will not run on Win7. So if you are a big gammer and like the games you are playing, then stick with XP.

If seriously attached to an XP-only game, look to see if your CPU s'ports XP Mode

If really attached to an XP-only game - which is truely GPU-intensive - take the dual-boot option. Win7 is by far superior to both XP and Vista, so use for every-day use, and keep the second install for those heavy-duty games not suitable for XP Mode.
