Yes, run screaming as fast and as far away as you can. We recently bought
a new desktop computer with Vista on it and after having to wipe the disk
and reinstall from backup disks 3-4 times (in the first week!) because of
it corrupting user accounts and completely fouling up the printers (to where
I couldn't even bring up the printers section of the control panel) I went
and installed the Windows 7 RC1. Windows 7 has been much more stable
(although, it tends to have problems with user accounts, I've found).

If you have the choice, I'd definitely recommend going with XP over
Vista, or better yet, get a MacBook and go with OS X.

Cheers,
Tanner
