My Understanding is that XP is twice the price for a reason--Vista has
been considered a major downgrade. It seems that SP1 has not helped.
Of course, there are other options out there besides windows boxes, so
you might also want to investigate those (OS X, Linux). Some of
crystallographers even prefer these other options to windows boxes.

Hi All,
I am about to buy a laptop and find that the XP is twice the price
of Vista. Does anyone have positive experience using Vista for
crystallographic packages: CCP4, Coot, O, X-plor? or must I still
avoid it?
Thanks,
Deena
