There is nothing wrong with vista, however you could just wait for windows 7 if you ahve waited thus far.

However, 64-bit windows home premium is what i use.

That was my nice answer, my next one is go to the os section and read what is already posted.

Here's a hint. i just said that there is nothing wrong with vista and i am using the 64-bit version, what does that tell you?
