Default Operating system on a new Dell Latitude

Which OS would you ask for on a new Latitude (possibly D820), Win Xp Pro or Vista? BTW, would a 1,66GHz processor + 2 GB ram + 100GB 7200rpm SATA HD be enough for Vista? ;-)

You need a powerfull graphics card also. Spec is OK if processor is a duo but you can always turn of Areo to save on power requirements.

Looking at that spec i would go for XP, Vista is still learning and has quite a few bugs to sort out, and i wont have to buy graphics card unless you want to
