Vista is a slow motion train wreck, I don’t see how they have much choice.

I’m still using XP (SP2). I’ll go with the OS after Vista. No need for Vista here.

Maybe Bill Gates needs to steal another operating system and release it under Microsoft’s name (only this time, he ought to steal one that actually works).

It is a joke how they are pouring all this money into the Vista rebranding effort (Mojave). Hey, Bill Gates, haven’t you heard that you can’t polish a turd?

Didn't they just release a new Service Pack? Cumulative fixes, etc?

I set up my daughters wireless network the other day and she has Vista.

What a mess!

I have one XP machine and five 98SE's in my house, which still work for what they were bought for. Whenever I make a machine from parts, build an arcade machine to run MAME or pinball, I clone 98SE and it runs fine, without Bill Gates running around inside my machine to nag me.

Vista? Snort-giggle!

Windows: DOS in a colorful clown suit. (I don’t remember where I read that so I can’t give proper credit. It was >7 years ago.)

I bought a new PC and decided to get Vista just so I could see how bad it was. Funny thing is I don’t have any problems with it. Most people won’t unless you’re still using a dot-matrix printer or some exotic piece of hardware. The user interface takes a little patience to get use to (or you can click back to classic or ‘XP’ mode).

Wow, two years after Vista’s release and people are still demanding the over seven year-old operating system. Can you imagine people demanding Mac OS X 10.1?

Still, kudos to Microsoft for bowing to the desires of their customers instead of forcing Vista.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Anyone have a suggestion on a vendor making good XP boxes these days?

Good.

XP is pretty solid, especially when compared to Vista.

It would be nice if Microsoft would give us XP users DirectX 10.

Windows XP Professional is the best OS Microsoft has ever made. I intend on sticking with it until Windows 7 come out. There’s no way I’m upgrading to Vista.
