Don't go with Vista yet. I have Vista on both of my Dell XPS M1330 (which are excellent for anything, btw) and I found out that X_Trader does not officially run on Vista. You can make it run by changing the compatibility to XP, but their API won't run at all (I get some weird error in my code, which ran perfectly fine on XP). I am about to switch back to XP since there are finally all XP drivers available for my laptops. Vista is also a performance hog compared to XP.
