Seven (don't choose only because you use it at the moment)
XP
Some people say XP is the best(i also think that) others say Windows Seven is like Xp or even better than xp (performances and stabilty)!
So what do you choose?Give a reason for youre choice!

been using xp pro x64 without a hitch for a long while. Using a skinner you can make it look like anything, vista, seven or whatever.
It way fast, still have it on disk.
Same here (re W7 being really great & far better than XP). XP was great in its day, but it's like a Model T Ford compared to a 2009 model car. Well that's a slight exaggeration, but W7 is very far advanced beyond XP without question and it's not just the GUI, although that is a part of it.
So many things, I wouldn't know where to start, except to say try reading the W7 Engineering Blog to get some idea.
Yeah,i'm using it for a long while too with no big problems and good part at it is it's very cutomizable!
I can't lie,Win7 looks good but on a old pc like mine i don't think will work too well as xp!Same here (re W7 being really great & far better than XP).

There's just no contest at all in speed on my hardware. With 7 i can still see the redraw of the windows flashing by as the background wallpaper updates.
With xp it's just: plop it's there.
7 idling at avg 10% with all utils running.
xp barely touches 3%
BSOD's, weird crashes, thats was all but gone in xp. With 7 a whole new range of problems has been introduced.
Still i switched to 7 because there are a few minor touches which mean at lot to me which have been resolved.
But i see the need to upgrade my memory, it only gets 8600 kb/s

i think pointless to say more. And for me as well, win7 runs better on my old AthlonXP2000+ with 1gb of ram and GF 6200 then WinXP.
