XP or Vista

[Steve Bauer]

I recently installed Hoster 4.3 on my Windows XP laptop and everything is going great! I have decided to purchase a back-up laptop and most new laptops come with Vista. However, if you order a laptop from Dell, you in some cases have the option to order it with Windows XP. I would like some advice on which to do. Those of you that have one system on XP and one on Vista, is there any difference in the installation and running? Knowing what you know now, would you opt for 2 XP machines or would mixing that with a Vista machine make any difference? Thanks

Yo, Beavis, you saying that you prefer XP? Had any experience with Vista? There is a great sale on laptops (Vista) here right now and I would buy one if I could get a green light from someone that has tried it.

I've been running my Shows on Vista all year, from 3.316 to 3.321 with no real problems. Haven't put 4.03 on it yet, until video is fixed. I first made sure everything was turned off that needed to be before installing Hoster. That worked for me! And now that Hoster is designed to work with both XP and Vista, I think it's just a matter of personal choice. I still have my old XP laptop I keep for backup.
