The hell? I ran Vista with 1 gig just fine, and had no compatibility issues after the first few months. And what are these glitches of which you speak?
XP lacks certain small things I've gotten used to (e.g. "Open Containing Folder"), which is a bit irksome.. but that's just me.
When I ran Vista on my laptop, I had conflicting issues when I wanted to open multiple tabs in firefox and other multiple processes at the same time. This could be because I bought a crappy laptop. But I always thought that the other reason was because Vista was using half my ram and the other half was being used to create dump files and other actions which I never really bothered to personally fix after I got my computer. Regardless, I upgraded to 4 ram and now I don't have any lags or hitches when I browse or do anything else that involves multi-tasking. You were right though that the minimum system requirements was 1 gigabyte. My bad :<.

If you talk about "glitches" when I refer to Windows 7, I'm just talking about how they will stop the service after June 1, 2010. On the Windows website they state that starting on March 1, 2010, your PC will begin shutting down every two hours. Windows will notify you two weeks before the bi-hourly shutdowns start. To avoid interruption, youll need to install a non-expired version of Windows before March 1, 2010. Youll also need to install the programs and data that you want to use.
Vista tends to give me problems when I want to access my root drives when I'm using things like Daemon Tools. But this may just be due to my inexperience at using OS's. Sorry for the misinformation.
