I personally gave up Windows years ago and use Linux. Having said that, particularly on a low-end machine I believe you will be better off with XP. (It's hard to imagine anything selling for $199 that would perform well with Vista.) To give the devil his due, Windows XP is now a mature and stable product that runs very well on modern hardware if you can keep it free of viruses and spyware.
FWIW, I recently had the experience of helping a friend with a new Acer laptop that came with Vista pre-installed, but also came with an XP "downgrade" CD. After installing XP the difference in performance was not merely noticable, it was dramatic.
