XP is an operating system with serious legs

After talking to my people, I decided on the square figure of 433GB of memory for it.

Its brown now? I've never seen one. And assuming you mean MB, not KB, yeah I don't think Vista would even boot or install on 256. 512 is torture. 1GB is BARELY passable. 2GB is acceptable but with RAM prices today, you may as well throw in 4GB (and net about 3.3GB on 32bit) and be done with it.

XP wasn't horrible, but it's loads better than Vista IMO. But I prefer OSX to both of them, so

As I check this for white text, I'm a geezer and I like Vista.

I, too, checked for white text - and was sorely disappointed to find none.

the brownSOD was a reference to Vista shitting itself... (i had to laugh at my own joke since no one else did )

Ah yes, I did mean MB, not KB, but I think it still worked for the joke. Or, apparently not.

For the record, it has 3GB of ram, & is still sitting at work.
