Vista is crippleware. I would wait until there's been at least two service packs. If you're gonna get Windows, get a more stable version like Millenium Edition.

Personally I'd get Vista, because like it or not, its what games of the future are going to be using.

I'd say Vista Home Premium 32bit as long as you have 3GB of RAM, or did you already purchase all of those? 32bit provides more compatibility. If you often try new applications, games, etc.. You'll probably end up being the guy asking in the forums why this application isn't working for you. :P
