I plan on buying a laptop but which Operating System to choose from? To help pick one I need to know how well Maplestory works on the 2 newest systems. * How much issues/ problems does Vista have running Maplestory * Will l Windows 7 be able to run maplestory at all and how well do you think? I would like to get a laptop sooner then later, though it may look like I might have to wait until Windows 7 is out and wait to find out how it runs with Maplestory.

Windows 7 plays MS really well, and is all around a better operating system than vista and XP, however it is only in it's Release Candidate stage. It should hit the market in 2010

Windows 7 and it is available for retail sale on October 22, 2009. Means you can buy it at the store on that day.

I don't think you can buy a windows XP right now. Vista runs fine with Maplestory. Its just XP has a better graphics card in the motherdrive than Vista. Vista can't play the crazy graphics games unless you buy a seperate graphics card and install it. As for Windows 7 at this time I cannot confirm at this point of time because I don't have one. Sources : I have a Vista and a XP.

lol I like how there are no votes to WinXP even tho it has the fewest problems (didn't say it had none) Vista runs it but has it bugs (like the d/c when Zakum dies) all cuz it not made to run on vista (need to use a compatibility mode to work) Windows 7 is still in bete yet everyone wants maple to work for it, why would it GameGuard wouldnt work with it and im kinda sure HackShield is in the same boat. I know its old but since you asking which one runs maple better I'd have to say XP.

I have found an XP laptop which I have choosen to buy until I was asked more questions. I'm more then happy to get XP, with windows 7 coming out I would like to find out which is going to be best. (don't mind waiting if I have too) So far I don't think vista, from all the feedback I have been given.

Windows XP is best if your system is extremely old such as Pentium 3 or below with 512 MB of RAM or less. Windows Vista can run Maple alright but the performance may suffer some depending on your system. Windows 7 runs Maple extremely well on a Pentium 4 system with 1 GB of RAM or more. The performance on my Core 2 Duo laptop with integrated X3100 graphics is equal to Windows XP for instance.

Stick with XP... Less glitches. Vista has a number of bugs, like jrealdeal said. And noone knows how windows 7 will work...but I believe it will be buggy like vista at first.

I am looking at: Hewlett Packard 550 (NB615PA) PC Notebook with OS XP If that helps to know, Aussie seems hard to get good cheap deals oe I'm not looking in the right places.

And noone knows how windows 7 will work...but I believe it will be buggy like vista at first." win 7 has WAY few bugs than vista, even in it's release candidate state. it should be (when it hits the stores) as stable (at the very least, prolly more) as XP, but with the looks of Vista (plus, DirectX 10 compatibility for high end graphic ards and games, something where XP utterly fails) @�above: win XP gets only DirectX 9.3, while vista can use DirectX 10.1 cards. that sure gives an edge to vista @TS: i'd use winXP until win7 hits the stores/can be downloaded for "free" on t3h internetz

I'd wait for Windows 7 to release.. A lot of people say its the best OS ever in Microsoft history... yeah maybe not...

For some reason, I get really low FPS in Windows 7...
