XP is my OS of choice in 97% of systems you're going to be building.

You do however, have a fully capable Vista PC. If you really want to run Aero, go for it, but I can tell you from first hand experience that it's not that impressive. If I were you I'd stick with XP, there are huge performance drops in some applications on Vista.(Read: 80-99% Performance Drops from XP) While that won't be the case for most applications, I wouldn't be surprised if you ran into one or two that did.

Not sure how bound you are to windows, but beryl has some REALLY cool effects that you can get runnings on linux, and I'd be more than happy to point you in the right direction to get that working for you if you were so inclined. Chances are like most people though, you just want something that works. XP!
