I would have a preference for Vista Business but I have no idea what the laptop is like.

As long as the laptop has at least 2gig of ram go with Vista Business.

If the laptop has a dual core processor and 2Gb of RAM you're good to go with Vista Business.

Otherwise, go for XP Professional.

I have a 1.8Ghz Dual Core with 2Gb RAM and it can handle pretty much anything you throw at it - Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, AutoCAD and ProDesktop all run happily(not all at the same time, of course), along with standard apps.

Are you confusing Vista Home Premium with XP Home Edition?
