Re: vista or xp :S ?
Until recently, I would also recommend XP. But I've changed my mind. Vista SP1 is very reliable. XP is history and it's support days are numbered. As long as you have enough memory (2GB minimum) in your computer, Vista is now the way to go. I use it myself. The problems that plagued Vista early on are resolved. It is a perfectly good platform for recording as long as you shut down the background tasks.
Coming soon is Windows 7 which will obselete Vista. They've released a Beta but that's it. It gets good marks so far.
You don't want to start with an O/S that is two versions behind. Vista today, Windows 7 tomorrow.
