I have 5 systems, vista is on 4 of them & 1 my sons is xp still.  I also use xp all day at work, the miltiary will not upgrade for a long time.  Vista is "ok", it is a lot slower than xp, I used tweek guides on my systems & stripped the vista down to where its xp with direct x 10 drivers...rumor has it the next service pack will increase performance I hope so.  When 1 sets up vista always do it from a clean install, lots of people have had issues doing the upgrades.

That's pretty sound advice regardless of what OS you're talking about.  Upgrading an OS is like putting a new engine into a beat up old car frame.  The potential for problems far outweight any performance gains you may think you're getting.  Whenever upgrading an OS, do a complete reformat of the hard drive and install a clean copy.  Upgrading without a clean install can only cause problems, not solve them.

Over the years I have tried to do upgrades several times & never once was it problem free.

I have loved to try out Vista 64 or XP 64 but I can not get confirmation if MALA and soft 15khz work with either OS.

Can anyone confirm?
