Windows XP SP3 Vs. Windows Vista SP1

[stunna]

Whats gonna be new in Windows XP SP3? Would you pick Windows XP SP3 over Windows Vista SP1?

[mvd7793]

I personally like vista. I just like updates! However, using a little less ram would be nice. As SP1 isn't officially out yet, I can't respond.

I'm currently testing a release candidate of XP SP3 and I can say there isn't much more on it than SP2, however I haven't had as many errors as I used to. I have a Vista machine in my house, but it's my gaming computer that I use only for it's purpose, gaming.

Oh kool. Are there any changes in the appearance?

[wolf693]

Nope, it still looks the same as before! I wish there was though... The default ones are getting annoying. *searches for more themes*

I would definitely take Windows XP SP3 over Vista SP1. I read the announcement of Vista not being able to support many softwares.

Performance of the final SP3 should be increased 10% over SP2. More reason to upgrade from Vista to XP (yes, I said upgrade)

I'll take XP SP3 over Vista SP1 because I prefer it when my antivirus actually works.

That's just me, though.

I'd go with XP SP3 any day, since:
* Vista sucks
* SP1's going to break a dozen or so antivirus/antispyware programs
* I only have XP, and I'd prefer it over Vista any day

Vista SP1.

A note about compatibility, I read that XP SP2 had more compatibility problems than Vista SP1, so that's an area Microsoft is addressing.
