Neither. Tiger if you like things that just work, XP if you like to be mucking about with anti-virus software and all that security muck. Why? Both Vista and Leopard have issues, require considerably more resources than their predecessors and will cost more. I find that Tiger works well for me and the rest of my family manage to get along with XP without swearing too much.

I still have xp, but on a dual core 64 bit, and it is more than sufficient , I have heard that if you want vista, you will need dual core 64 bit, and lots of memory

I have both 32bit, and 64bit vista.I bought the 32 bit version, and you can then get the 64bit for €10 posted out to you. The 32bit is fine, and i decided not to install the 64bit version. I've been told that if you use the 64bit version, it's impossible to get non microsoft authorised programs to work.

Fair enough. I'm interested in hearing the issues bit.. what sort of technical problems are there if any?


I think Tiger and Leopard are nicer names than XP or Vista.
