Bloatware. Silly how much activity goes on in that OS even for the simplest things.

Couldn’t agree more. I have Vista on two different laptops, and the system ‘think time’ is absolutely over the top. It once took nearly 10 minutes to come out of hibernation.

don’t forget the MS snoopware to “authenticate you”

The multitude of “versions”

Downward compatability is a MAJOR issue for my business as I do not want to be buying new 3rd party EVERYTHING just because the OS upgraded.

My Windows XP is working. I’d does all I need and it’s working. It just works. All previous versions of Windows I’ve had have had annoying problems. I sure don’t want to spend money, upgrade and risk having problems. My experience with Microsoft Windows is problems, reboots, blue screens,... I’m going to stick with what’s working for as long as I can.
