Linux or XP?

I guess it would depend on hardware and what flavor of linux you use.

I've heard Linux is "lightning fast" compared to XP. Is this true? How much faster is it?

It's not really any faster IMO. Half of the reason it's a little faster is because it doesn't have all of the processes going. But alot of the programs are slower. I would definitely say go with XP, it's more user friendly, has constant updates, and is waaaay more compatible.

Hmm.. Ok so I should prolly stay with XP instead of Linux, but are there any cool features on XP that will make it look/work better?

you can check out some xp tweaking forums for performance, and for looks you can get custom themes and what not to make it look nicer.
