What problems are you having with XP to even consider Vista.

If you really want to try it...then install it as a second boot option. you end up with both on separate partitions. I have detailed instructions on how to do that.

The only benefit I see in vista is Direct X 10 ...which according to my sources has already been "ported" to the XP platform with no glitches.

XP Pro does everything I need. Vista? maybe in couple of years, maybe.
