Windows Vista or XP?
Hi all,
I am close to purchasing a new desktop and notebook for home. The question begs – do I purchase the above with Vista, or do I try and see if I can get XP instead. From an astro point of view, at this stage I will be using the computers for the following,
Laptop
Aiming to autoguide the HEQ5 with either PHD (apparently Vista OK) or GuideDog. Once I have purchased the laptop I will probably purchase the Qguide camera for guiding.
Desktop
Predominantly for processing/stacking photos……..(eg. Deep Sky Stacker, Registax) taken with the Canon 400D.
Really confused to how much of an issue people are still having with Vista. 
Look forward to some replies.
Cheers,
Daniel
