I dont think newer games run as well on XP as it expects 64bit tech to play at full pelt. Even new HW is the same....
XP - Old Skool
VISTA
Windows 7

There is a 64 bit version of xp.
True but if you are going to upgrade the standard XP should be be to the 64b version or straight to Vista?

Win 7 has played everything I've chucked at it so far
I would include Windows 7 in your poll, hands down the best m$ os and it hasn't officially launched yet
win 7 for me aswel, + its direct x 10
depends - XP is a touch faster than window 7 and used less memory but Windows 7 is shiny and new and has DX10 built in (without all the XP hacking to get DX10 running) Im sticking with XP for a while longer, but using window 7 on the laptop.
Face facts its when, not if, with windows 7. We will all be on it in 12-18 months time
Windows 7 x64 my friend. That's the one right there.
Put MW2 on it the other night. Sweet.
ive had all 3 operating systems all 64 bit and by far windows 7 is the best by a mile so smooth and no lag , it looks great and wouldnt go back
I'm astounded VISTA was even an option in the poll!
I think this should be re-polled due to the fact that windows7 wasnt in circulation and only to a select few, since editing the poll i see 3 voting for it. shame when i voted it i was useing XP and i think alot of members then that did vote have tried windows7 now and love it
7 > XP > Vista
nlite windows 7 to cut all the crap out. Got it running on my 701 eeepc and AW11S/B Vaio and it ROCKS! Fast, efficient and up to date. Less likely to get viruses and crap on 7 at the moment too as it has a fair bit of protection stuffs.
Warcraft on 7 I get 15 to 20fps improvement over XP and that's running the 32 bit version (I have my reasons for not going x64)
Eve online I get about 30fps improvement over XP
'nuff said really. Wouldn't go back to XP now.
Vista is shockingly bad though - although nlite that and it's better.

Oh - also DirectX 10 (and 11) will not natively run on XP - you have to hack the hell out of it and I doubt it's 100% compliant.
