    at the moment windows xp pro as it is a full release and is not a testing verion. window vista beta 2 is not the full final release so it may be unstable is some areas.

    Yeah. Vista is still pre RC1. It will only have a 180 trial on it I beleive. Go for XP as it is a full version. If you can grab two, I'll take one! lol
