Windows 7 is the way to go. I recently switched from Windows XP 32bit to Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit and I wouldn’t go back to XP, unless I really, really have to but you wouldn’t need to go back to XP as windows virtual pc gives you windows XP mode for free. Its fantastic.
Here are more details on my experience of windows 7:
Windows 7, Quick Launch Menu and XP/Vista Compatibility Mode | Windows 7 Solutions
I did try vista on different users laptops and I hated it and never really made a jump from xp to vista. Good thing I waited for Win 7 and improvements to vista.

I’ve since upgraded the ram to 8GB, CPU is Quad-core AMD Phenom II Deneb 3.0 Ghz and Graphics card is the EVGA GeForce GTX 260 896MB.
You should give it a try, make sure you get at least 4 GB ram, 2GB is the new minimum.
Thats info for me very helpful thanx buddy i got 2GB ram and currently i’m using vista business. i love it because its very simple and easy to use as multiple opreating sys. Never had problem. But thinking to go to 7.
