That's interesting. I upgraded XP on my laptop right after it came out and
it runs significantly faster. I guess I'm one of the lucky ones.
My laptop:
Gateway 6421
AMD Turion 64 ML-32
1 GB RAM
100 GB HD
ATI 200M integrated graphics (it runs Aero and Flip 3d just fine)
Vista Home Premium Upgrade 32 bit (from XP Media Center)
I put it on my other home machine:
AMD 64 X2 4200
2 GB RAM
250 GB Sata Drive
ATI 2006 All-In-Wonder
Vista Home Premium OEM 32 bit
Runs great on that one too. The only driver problem I had was with the AIWs
capture but a quick Google fixed that.
I just got 2 more licenses from Newegg and am upgrading my wife and
daughter's computers.
I like it. It hasn't crashed once. Every program I use runs well on it.
It shows 50% RAM usage base but I can run alot of stuff on it before it
budges much above that mark.
Like I said, guess I got lucky but I like like it much better than XP.

Win2000 is better to OC with as XP can get screwed up by messing with the
FSB, 2k never has, as far as I and a lot of others have found, there is a
post about this in the rebels haven forums. 2k is also faster, not by
much, but it is.
Vista spends so much time checking on the voltage ripple and every other
thing that you loose any power you might gain from any OC. The best thing
is to stick with XP or Win2000, Win2000 has the longer support life time.

makes no real difference which os you use, the overclock is done in the
bios.
