Depends on the power of the laptop I guess. My main problems with Vista have been that it has compatibility issues with older programs and that it hogs system resources.
If the Inspiron you're getting has 2GB or more RAM you should be sweet though, in which case I'd recommend that.
All the DELL bashers are pretty much wrong in my opinion. I don't know why DELL has such a bad rep, their laptops are probably the cheapest on the market for what you get in them and they don't load them up with anywhere near as much crapware as Sony does with their Vaios.
