I have both. I am typing on Vista now. Once you get used to it, it is nice. The MS Word is nice and it has some neat features. But it seems to this illiterate that it is a bigger jump from XP than say, win 95 or something might have been.
FYI, on what I have learned:
Many programs do NOT install on Vista like they do on XP. You need to make sure you follow the Vista directions. Many programs want to plug and play, and this does not work on Vista. You have to turn off/on adminstration or something. Been a couple of months since I have done it... just make sure you do not try and run-install like the old XP. Follow the new directions, and if it is not Vista compatible... well... better check their web site to determine if it will work.

PS Took me a while, but I like it now.
