what OS should I run
Melodic:
Vista's a fine OS, and with SP1 around the corner it can't hurt to upgrade, but don't bother with a leaked version, and wait for the official thing.
Other than that, keep XP. Nothin' wrong with it, and hacking OSX is a lot more trouble than it's worth.
Toba:
I ran Vista for a few hours on my new laptop, and it bugged the everloving shit out of me with those little permission popups. I guess this either happens to you a lot or doesn't, depending on the phase of the moon. Either way, I tossed it and spent a few days wrestling gentoo onto the machine.
Toba:
Oh, too late now.
azgarth:
problem with that is that they're the M$ protection, running it, and xp becomes safer, and performs better, so xp would still be better(this is talking about a mid-low level pc though, more then 2 gigs of ram, a good dual or quad core proc, and a new gen grphx card would have vista perform better, probably).
i'm always a fan for dual or multi boots, i used to run with a xp-xp-ubuntu studio combi, and was doubting if i should have added vista, if ubustu would've worked properly, it would have had use, as i'm big on sound editing, but like this, i ended up just using 1 xp, so i removed the rest.
and dont forget there's programs to enhance the visual aspect, like stylexp, and stuff to emulate stuff like the thing from mac at the bottom(objectdock, rocket dock, and so on).
and great programs like taskbar shuffle, which lets you reposition your programs on your taskbar, and trayicons on your systray.

That's a good idea. These days you really should be having 2 GB or RAM.
