This is something that you're going to have to decide for yourself in the end, because 50% of the responses will be about why you should go back to XP, and the other 50% will be about why you should stick with Vista. Personally, I'd stick with Vista as it does perform better than XP overall. MrCobra: I'm afraid I disagree. SP1 looks as though it will fix many problems with Vista, not that I HAVE many to begin with. I already consider it a far superior OS to XP, but to each his own.
