I actually was writing an argument for my English class and decided to post it on here it is less on sentence for good reason tho (no adam it was not spelling)
Vista vs XP
Earlier this year Microsoft release a spanking new fresh looking new operating system but the only thing fresh looking about the new windows vista is the graphical properties. In my opinion and also as stated by more than one IT firm that windows vista is just a face lift on the buggy windows ME. Many IT Firms who have had the “privilege” of using windows vista have quickly reverted to Windows XP. So what makes Windows XP better to use than Vista you might ask. Well with windows XP it was more user friendly as when you click something it opens and works whereas with vista you click something you have to get one or more security prompts which is not that bad but it is annoying and unnecessary. Many programs do not work on windows vista as it did on windows XP, for example E-jay Dance Pro 7, A program I use for making dance music is not compatible with windows Vista yet it works fine on windows XP. Windows XP is even cheaper to use than Vista. Vista on its own is expensive depending on what version you get, next you computer has to be able to support it and that requires some good performance so you will need for the minimum requirements you need a whopping 512 MB of ram a 1ghz processor and 20 gigabytes of hard drive space and 32 megabyte graphics card. The actually requirements are 1 gigabyte of ram 1ghz processor 128 megabyte graphics card and 40 gigabytes of hard drive space, all that does not come cheap at all. Windows XP needs a mere 128megabytes of Ram and 1.5 gigabytes of hard drive space. Even the layout on windows xp is more user friendly whereas vista with its flashy color has people lost half the time. In my conclusion I say stick with windows XP until windows vista has some major upgrades done to it.

Now having been a vista user my self on and off its not the devil but it is the devils advocate. if you are just using if for msn, internet browsing and office fine(just make sure u have more than 512mb of ram cause thats what vista USES!!!! you need more to run other apps) as for music its only good for music if your are not doing anything else vista and music dont mulitask hand in hand you music will get sticky and pause especially if its a laptop. it should work alright if its just browsing and listening to music tho i should suspect.
