Vista is not so bad unless you want to run legacy software..
Of course I want to run legacy software. Workflows have been developed
over many years, sometimes decades. I don't want some punk programmer
telling me I have to re-engineer my business.
Does this sound like a good plan?
Get a new fast Vista machine because that is what is out there. Load XP on

If Tom were to use virtualization, he'd be better off doing it
on a Mac or Linux machine, because virtualization is notoriously
buggy and runs with too much overhead on Vista. However,
if he is running the legacy software as one of his primary
applications, he would be adding a layer of

E.g., you can't write to Program Files any more, but a lot of old

So, Vista is useless because I have to run legacy software. OS X is fine
because I'm not running a museum.
OK, that makes sense.

Each new release of Windows requires more RAM and horse power.
I recommend as a minimum: A dual core processor and 2GB RAM
(if you want to do more than run a single program).
