yep it runs on vista .. ^^ you need to modify the setup file to install it on xp, but it didnt work for me :o actually I dont use itunes aswell, but I need it to synchronize my played tracks with last.fm :P

I'd say Vista Home Premium 64 bit is the way to go, I have it and its awesome :)

I use 64bit XP pro. Definetly not shit. Got 4 gigs of ram also.
Cant think of any problems Iv had. All programs iv used seem to have a 64bit version/or will work on x64 nonetheless.

If you want to use any programs that will not run on XP or you want to use DirectX10, go with Vista, otherwise XP is the best bet imo.

64-bit vista

if you run into problems you can always install xp

xp > vista
I read somewhere that xp will not be updated anymore on 2010/2011 or something.

I guess by that time all the service packs will make Vista work at least ok.

vista is ok, just take the fancy crap off of it that makes ur browsing slower (make it streamlined like xp), one thing i definately like about vista that the XP tards didnt do enough of was THREADED GUI's. so much more responsive explorer.exe and add/remove files etc, basically means there is no annoying "freeze" if u open music folders that have more than 10GB of songs, or if u open add/remove programs the list appears straight away and then is added to etc etc
