Windows 7
Vista is dead-end.
Only go with Vista if you have something that will not run on Windows 7 yet and it is an absolutely-gotta-have-or-I-die application. Otherwise, go Windows 7.
But if you really want something fresh, stable, and cool, try switching from tired old Windows to Mac or Linux 
Windows runs God's computers...

Windows 7, Vista is already obsolete and you'd have to upgrade to 7 anyway.

Yeah...I kinda thought that myself. So W7 it is! I wonder how much of my stuff will go down the drain when I do this...

You do need to do a clean install if you go to Win 7
Most programs run now, but there's a few programs that are still not compatible.
def win 7

Huh...well, maybe I need to check and see if all the programs I use on a daily basis are compatible with W7...

For most home users, there are few apps that would not work (and work better usually) under Win7 than Win XP. If you have some specific requirements for some app that has issues, consider alternatives to the app, or alternatives to how you run it.
If you have just one or 2 apps that are not used daily, there is no need to hobble/cripple your computer just for them. You could dual-boot the PC to run XP and W7 depending on your requirements. If you are buying a new machine, get Windows 7 as the base and run XP in a VM.
