I didn't have a choice sadly. Vista came with my system. They wouldn't let me pick XP.
You didn't have to buy that system.

To be honest, Vista isn't *hugely* buggy, it just takes a bit more configuring to get how you'd like it than XP does.
The only drawback with Vista as far as I can see is the Drivers people have written for it don't take full advantage of some of the new lower level functionality that Vista has.

The only other drawback with Vista is that it is Vista.
More overhead, little to no compelling upgrades, worse performance. Useless Aero interface. Annoying and thus not very useful security features. Driver problems. 64 bit problems. No downgrade path.
In my opinion, it is still not ready for prime time. And will not be for at least 1.5 - 2 years.
But YMMV.

Same reason that I haven't upgraded from XP Pro to Vista. There are too many bugs and not enough good reasons to upgrade. If you are going through a computer store that is more customer friendly they should allow you the option of getting XP instead, I know I chose that option when I got my latest laptop.

Buy parts, build it yourself, win.

QFT, the last time I bought a complete system was around 1988
I build all my desktop systems, but laptops are out of my league.

Laptops are easy to build its just the parts are harder to source.
