I've been using vista for only half a year though. This system tries to control your actions too much lol. Can't use non-certified themes, drivers (daemon tools/peer guardian 2 had problems due to that for quite some time), plus it detects new network in my dorm's LAN like 30 times a day o.O (everyone who used to use Vista here confirms it, it is quite annoying since it "forgets" any "old LAN" when detecting "new one" thus causing disconnects... ) But mostly - i recommend you to use all 3 of the systems simultaneously (or just xp + vista) for like 6 months - probably your HDD does have enough space. Then you will find system that suits you the best  TBH only people who i know that still use Vista are people who use laptops and say that they will lose their guarantee if they reinstall system (even though I've heard that you just can't format the "recovery partition" or w/e it is called but i don't care since i don't use lap anyway) | ||

The problem appears when you require RAM for something else, like playing games. That is why people usually recommend that Vista users have at least 4 GB of RAM, since then you actually have RAM to spare to run Vista along other RAM-intensive activities. | ||
