I am going to install SVN for my personal projects. Is it better to install it on a spare machine(Win XP) or will I save myself grief if I install it on the machine I use for development(Vista).

Installing your repository on a separate machine is probably a better idea, since at a minimum, it will allow your source code to survive a hard drive crash on your development machine.
