Thsi is an old thread, but will stick my nose in here anyway. I am dual booting both. Gives me a chance to try stuff in both. I was anti Vista until I started running it and ended up liking it. That having been said, it is a bit resource heavy and thus is a bit slower. Also, the UAC can get a bit intrusive and be an overall nuisance. Windows 7 is much lighter and is very responsive. It is a very good OS, and if you have the choice, skip Vista. I have both installed ( and XP MCE 2005 on my other desktop ) and do so for comparison purposes. Also, I am a moderator on another board, and it is helpful if some one comes in with a question on Vista. There are a lot of stalwarts hanging in with XP, but unlike Vista, I don't think they'll be unhappy with Windows 7 after they have had some time with it.
