Its up to u what kind of work u r doing in your Operating system.
But according to me windows Xp is better but vista is also good.
and windows xp is faster than windows visa and consume less space.

vista on 512 tho shud work, but if u can increase it, u shall not face ne bottlenecks

if u buyin licensed copy of XP, den u will safely recive support form M.S 4 d next 4-5 yrs

Windows XP would be better in the current scenario. Further, rather than using a streamed down version of Vista, better to use a full fledged XP. ;)

Go for XP now. There is enuf time to migrate to vista later. There is not just any BIG things gonna happen in Vista world. SO hold ur horses and go for XP.
Eventually most of us wud migrate to vista maybe after SP1.

I think u use Windows XP, as with 512 RAM u cannot get Aero!

U can definitely run aero on 512MB RAM. It doesn't run by default but just looking for aero in help will show you how to enable it.

BTW, Vista Home Basic doesn't have aero.

Use XP, All features of Vista won't work unless you have 1 GB of RAM. You would get a faster speed with XP on a PC with 512 MB RAM.

i suggest xp coz i don't think it has any features u don't get in xp (native or with third-party support). xp will also run way better than vista on ur sys
