About to purchase a dedicated live & studio rig, running live & cubase. Wondering whether to format and install Win XP or not.

realistically, we can't run XP forever. Are there any advantages to keeping vista?

I bought a new PC about 6 months ago, and it came with Vista, so I figured I'd give it a shot. Right out of the box it was kind of annoying, because a lot of the typical Windows stuff was in different places.

When I tried installing my music software and devices, it became a real nightmare. Nothing worked. After days of googling error message and dealing with my machine rebooting and blue screening at random, I said screw it and put XP on the machine, and everything worked again.

it's garbage.
and i've been pro M$ all the way since NT workstation, ignoring the pretentiousness of linux/mac types -- but once vista came out, the fascism broke my heart, and i adopted stalin's macbook pro. i love my macbook pro, and so should you. plus, with bootcamp + parallels running xp, you can simply alt-enter into your favorite Microsoft Himler apps when need be.

i'm buying a new laptop from pctorque.com with no OS installed. coz i aint dealing with Vista until 70% of vista users say it's good to go... buying laptops without OS installed is the best way to go anyway. no pre-installed demos and crappy stupid application to deal with... and Sager laptops rule!
