I would personally recommend Windows Vista for a user at home. This is because this is the latest OS from Windows. It also comes with lots of extra features which is good for the home. <?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-Microsoft-com:office:office" />
The problems with Windows Vista are that some software is not compatible with it. But this is normally not the case and I haven't come across this.
If you are going to install Windows Vista on your current PC you should check if it will run smoothly with it. You can down a small application from Microsoft which will scan your PC to make sure your Hardware and Software will run on <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-Microsoft-com:office:smarttags" />Vista.

I would recommend you to get Windows Vista when you buy a new computer.
Windows Vista has numerous security improvements over XP, such as User Account Control (UAC).
The Basic thing are different with in Vista and Xp are tehy layout and representation and controll of the features of how the functionaliy and control of the OS is handle via the difference of them both.. First answer...WHAT? The user interfaces differ quite a bit from XP to Vista. Vista also requires much more user set up functions than XP. That was why it was a failure, Instead of Microsoft developing an easier interface, the designed a monster!!

The user profiles for XP typically exist in the Documents and Settings folder. With Vista (and its current offspring Windows 7 (maybe 8 too)) the user profiles have been placed into the Users folder. Security has been beefed up too. With XP it was fairly non-existent. Vista/7/8 have a few more controls to be dealt with.

No, Vista is a later release than XP.
There isn't a simple answer to this, but most problems with Vista seem to occur when upgrading older machines from XP. Newer machines, which were designed for Vista, seem to work well. Perhaps the best answer is to use Vista on new machines, but keep XP on old machines. As the old machines are replaced, the business will move (hopefully gracefully!) from XP to Vista.
No. Obviously, if you upgrade to Windows Vista, you will have Windows Vista.
