Instead of upgrading my Windows XP Pro to Vista, should I wait for Windows 7?

XP Ftw.

Stay with XP.

Make sure you get the 64 Bit version. Of XP that is.

If you can get 64 bit drivers, it probably is superior to 32 bit xp

If you can't get the drivers for all your stuff, stick with 32 bit.

but yeah, XP > Vista /thread etc

64bit XP whilst great in theory, is utterly useless for drivers. I used it for about a week before I got pissed off. 64bit Vista FTW. Now I've gotten used to it I'm actually very happy with it.

Linux AMD64
Linux x86
Vista 64bit
Vista 32bit
Win 7 beta
OSX
XP and other outdated OSs

That's right, I'm putting OSX above your XP

Upgrade to Vista, I'm sure Windows 7 is similar so you are getting some indirect experience by going to it. There's no reason not to, frankly.

depends what applications and hardware u are gonna be using or u use, certain applications are compatible with XP 64 bit and certain ones are not, I know MS has worked more on Vista 64 bit than XP 64 bit... so if you are willing ot gamble go head

If have XP already then sticking with it is fine.  If you have to buy an OS the it's dumb IMO to pay for XP over vista.  What people who say skip Vista and go for Window 7 seem to forget is every MS OS sucks at launch so it will be 6-12 months after 7 comes out that most would touch it.

Personally I'd pick up Vista 64 bit.
