Comment nr 1 reason: Visual Studio (Score 1) 447
I'll keep XP because of several reasons :
1) Nobody mentions this but Vista is incompatible with Visual Studio 2002/2003.

Also, VS 2005SP1 doesn't seem to play nicely as it does on XP when you look at this laundry list of issues

2) XP just plain works! I develop on a latitude 810 and it would crawl under Vista.
3) i'd like to install windows XP on my Intel iMac under Bootcamp. Vista is too unstable for that and as i'm only running it as a secondary OS along OS X i won't make the extra investment.
there's probably loads of other things to consider but these were mine;)
