To hear about your computer woes. I actually read in Yahoo today (well yesterday) that Microsoft was taking XP off the market in June of this year. There will still be updates and patches available for another year. Personally, I love XP and will be sticking with it until I get a new computer which won't be for a while. I have two laptops and I'm extremely happy with them. And since XP will not be pre-installed on new computers, if you can, stick with XP. All new computers will have Vista on them. If you have an older computer and you want to go with Vista, make sure your computer hardware supports the new operating system, i.e: enough memory, hard drive space, cpu, video, etc.

Also too, if your computer continues to blue screen after you reinstall the operating system, you may have something else going on there.
