I get my new computer tonight but I don't know if I should get Windows 7 or XP.
XP will be free and I can get it tonight, Windows 7 will also be free but it will take about 2-3 weeks to get.

Its a brand new computer.. nothings ever been put on it that was built from scratch.. >.> I only said to do that so he could play on it right away rather than having to wait.

Xp is the ugliest thing ever. Support for it will end in a year.
No DirectX 11, No Media Center, No Window snapping, ...

Wait for Windows 8 beta, only one month

Windows 7, why are you even asking? Why don't you already have it?
