Which is a better operating system (for my new MBP 15")? I heard that Vista has some problems with games or something... should I just settle with XP? Money is not an issue.
I went with XP on my Bootcamp/Parallels installation. I seems to be better supported by Parallels, is arguably more stable, I don't play many 3D intensive games, and Vista doesn't do anything my Leopard install (or XP) won't already do for me. I'll probably upgrade to Vista when they stop supporting XP or when I run into something I need to do that I can't already do. That's just me though and I'm sure others will chime in too.

I am having Issues with the Sound card and Graphics on my vista system that uses bootcamp. Everything else works fine, but when i am listening to a song or watching a dvd movie it kinda skips or gets jumpy! I don't know if XP runs any smoother or not.
Try searching Intel's website for an updated Vista driver for the graphics card you have on your system. Wouldn't be the first time that fixed an issue like this. I'm assuming you are using a MAcBook or Mini with integrated Intel graphics. If not, try doing the same for you NVIDEA or whatever graphics you are running.

Thanks!
The best operating system for your new MBP 15" is Leopard or Tiger...!!
Seriously, if you absolutely HAVE to run Windows then I'd go with XP.

When I got a new PC laptop for Mrs riscy, I asked the guy in the shop to remove the pre-installed Vista and put Windowze XP, SP 2 on it. He knew why and agreed with me
On the Mac I also run XP SP2.
