Should I install Windows Vista?

Well, as a bonus for buying a new laptop in December, i was offered a free copy of Windows Vista Home Premium, which came in the mail today. I've heard a lot of problems about Vista, so I was wondering if I should install it on my laptop or not.

My specs are:

Processor: Intel CPU T2050 @ 1.6 Ghz (2 CPUs)

Memory: 1 GB of RAM

OS: Windows XP Home SP2

Graphics: Mobile Intel 945GM Express Chipset Family

Sound: Conexant HD Audio Output

You know what? I honestly...wouldn't.

XP runs perfectly on 1 gig of RAM. Vista might be "ok" on one gig of RAM, but it could definitely use two.

Unless there is a burning desire for some Vista feature, I'd leave it as is for now. 

I agree with Yellowjell0. You would have to buy another 1 GB of RAM to keep Vista happy whereas 1GB on XP is fine.frost_mourne13

But your stupid :) , and to the poster Vista will run sluggishly on the graphics card, I see no point moving forward.
