I'm looking for a new computer. I have Windows ME now. Should I get XP or Vista? Are the bugs out of Vista Yet?

Vista is worthless. Id go with XP, easy to use and pretty stable.

Although XP still is a LITTLE buggy, DONT get vista. Go with what ever Mr. Chadwick said because he helped me DOWNGRADE from vista to XP because of how many issues it has. It tried to take over my whole cpu.. and thats not right -.-

Vista is still working out issues with stability and driver support; the stability issues should be addressed when Vista SP1 comes out in Q1 2008. If you have the opportunity to buy a PC with XP, I'd recommend it over Vista.

The bugs are not out of Vista yet but I would recommend going with Vista anyway unless you want to have an out of date operating system in a little over a year. 1-31-09 is the last date that XP is going to have any support from Microsoft. So why not get Vista and be learning how to use it instead of saving money to buy it later?
Most of the bugs are hardware drivers that manufacturers are not getting right, it isn't Microsofts fault. As long as the computer is designed and comes with pretty much everything you believe you will need you should be alright.
Don't forget, XP had the same responses from the general public when it was released as well and they fixed just about all the issues with it, they will do the same with Vista and SP1 will fix a lot of problems when it does get released.

Also, 2Gb of RAM is definitely recommended. It is a memory hog. So buy some extra memory if you can afford to do so when you buy the computer.
