I'm thinking of doing a reload of the OS on my GBPVR machine just due to some general weirdness going on with the system (it's been trucking along just fine for probably two years or so now).
I have copies of XP-pro and Vista Business in both 32bit and 64bit flavors. If you were to reload your system, what OS would you pick? Vista has all that weird administrator crap in it, but it does have EVR. XP is like an old reliable vehicle. Might not look as flashy but sure works well. Are the (supposed?) superior media handling capabilities of Vista worth the annoyances?
Just looking for some opinions here, thanks!
