Not only NO but HELL NO *LOL* My husband’s a gamer (Battlefield Vietnam, Battlefield 2142, Star Wars Galaxies) and his Sony VAIO has WinXP. We’re not going anywhere near Vista any time soon. We were in Best Buy a while ago checking out Vista as we were building a system for our best friend, the guy told us 1) Vista had been beta tested for 5 years, 2) XP has more bugs than Vista, and 3) MS was doing away with tech support for XP at the end of the year. It took EVERYTHING we had not to laugh in the guy’s face.

After all, he was a salesman. His job is to BS. LOL!

XP has more bugs than Vista, spare me. XP is the best version of Microsoft ever produced and it is a POS. Having had the dubious privilege of installing and working with Vista … strong barf alert.

I can understand that every piece of software needs some “bake in” time. But a company as rich in programmers as Microsoft should be able to put out a product that is both workable and hugely bug free from the get go.
