Stick with Windows XP.

Helios requires XP Pro, I'm not sure about the others.

This ain't cutting edge software, not enough users in the real world, or the need for the latest in gaming/graphics as with Vista.

If you already bought it, take it home and play with Vista.

Get a bare bones unit with a decent hard drive, lots of memory, and a CD/DVD burner for backups. Check what extra ports you need, i.e. USB for a dongle, Serial for T-Max, (older units) 2nd parallel for receipt printers, etc....
