That’s because the vast majority of applications that run on XP run just as well on Vista.

Sheesh, the crapola that gets passed off as “tech news” around here.

No they don't quite a lot of old proprietary business software is intentionally disabled by Vista. If you were running a heating and air company, and your manual J software wouldn't work anymore after getting a supposed operating system upgrade - you would be just as unhappy as a lot of the people driving the big Vista backlash.

Business people don't care if you can still play recent games or not
