So do u use XP or Vista?

my pc has Vista pre-loaded but I wish I could go back to XP, Vista uses up a gig of ram without anything open

Vista

XP

Ubuntu.

XP

Every computer/laptop I'm on, I use XP. I have no intent to upgrade to Vista, unless I end up forking some money to buying a new laptop/computer. Which isn't likely, since I don't have money right now.

Vista 64 bit atm 

XP, I have a shitty computer.

I use Windows XP.

XP ftw

"XP, I have a shitty computer."

I used to dual boot Vista and XP but I've finally stepped foward to Vista only. All the incompatibilities have since been patched so all my old games work on Vista.

... Mac OS X and XP. waiting for Windows 7 and skipping Vista most probably.

Vista SP1 on one machine and XP on another, I've had no issues with Vista SP1 and am just as satisfied with it as XP.  

Vista 64-bit, i need that to handle 8gb of ram

Vista, and yeah it is a pain that it almost uses a gig of RAM (mine is 30% usage idle with 2GB). I bet Windows 7 will use almost the same amount of RAM though.

Vista on one machine and XP on another.

XP, but I've switched between the two numerous times.

The machine came with Vista so I uses Vista.
I don't really have a problem with it.

Both, dual boot, usually vistax64 though for gaming.

I purchased Vista x64.  But uninstalled it soon after.  I'm perfectly happy with XP on my gaming PC.  (and MAC OS X)  :P  I love my Mac.

XP.

Mac OS X and XP... it is so awesome to use both on the same Mac...

Vista Ultimate and Ubuntu on my laptop. and then mac os x with my mac. i really <3 my mac, it's so awesome =)

Im using my laptop right now that has Vista and my PC has XP

Vista.
As for vista using that ram, turn off all the extra stuff specially the super fetch service which loads nearly all commonly used programs into ram.

XP.

Vista, which runs fine with 2GB of ram.

XP's all I need, motherfucker.

Vista. No real problems with 6+ months of use.

"Ubuntu."

Vista. Got it preinstalled with my new laptop. I don't ever want to go back to the XP interface.

XP

Vista- have 2 gigs ram and it runs fine, but would still rather be using XP.

Vista on my laptop.

XP, Vista and Ubuntu....

Vista, on 3 GB of RAM.

XP Pro 32 bit - it castrates a gig of my RAM but I'd still rather it than Vista.

Vista i love it

Vista 32bit.

Vista, and its been fine..performance is great too with 4 gigz of ram.

XP

xp. every time i try to use vista i get a headache from trying to find where everything is

 Vista, which ran fine when I had 2GB ram and works even better now that I've got 4GB Ram.

Vista

Vista with 2gb ram. I used to run it with 1gb and it was fine aswell. I believe the reason it uses so much ram is that it caches programs that you open frequently so that they open instantly. Aero propably uses some of it aswell.
