I've already downloaded the XP SP3 (BETA) and using since the past 3 months, which was made available by MS for its testing phase. XP SP3, has been working like a well-oiled machine. I would strongly recommend XP3 against Vista.

This reinforces Vista as a failed OS. How about Microsoft concentrating on actually listening to smart users and not just bothering with visual appeal. How 'bout a Vista that boots in 5 secs flat, can run of USB and support USB boot, is really fast and a joy to use wihout crappy nags(that jackaass chinese thinking developers put in.) and no bloatware. Ooh...such a pipe dream.

thanks

I remember well when XP came out. My computer crashed and I was forced to buy an XP machine. My other computer was running ME. They would not work together and I was forced to buy let another new XP machine. I also had to get a new printer and many of my old applications had to be replaced. This cost me $$$$ along with days of pulling my hair out with a system that kept freezing. Finally XP has become a fairly stable system and my network is running as smooth as can be expected. So I believe that VISTA will be a fine OS in maybe 2 years. But I perfer to wait if I can and let other spend their $$$$ and get the bugs worked out before I switch again.

I don't have the money to upgrade to a new OS. I have been using XP for 2 years. I have to admit I had less problems with 98....but except for the constant hangups and error messages, XP is fine. I'll use XP until it breaks down and I can't get it patched up.

I, too, have heard mostly negative comments about Vista, and I am a tech support person for Gateway. However, I have Vista installed at home, and I absolutely love it. I think that people expected Vista to work like XP did. And, so far, it is proving to be exactly the same. XP had many of the same problems, and fits and starts, that Vista is having. People complained about having to switch from Windows 98 to XP, and some uninstalled XP to revert back to 98. What some people fail to recognize is that Microsoft can do whatever it wants with XP. And, most major manufacturers do NOT supply XP any more, and, if they currently do, will not be able to do so after June 30. People who revert back to Windows XP from Vista are asking for problems, becuase most hardware manufacturers are not writing drivers for XP, as it is an operating system in decline. Complaining about it to Microsoft, signing petitions, and other things, wile making you feel good inside, simply will not ahve any effect on Microsoft. And, finally, those who say they will wait until "Windows 7" and avoid Vista altogether fail to realize that Microsoft is basing the codebase for Windows 7 on Windows Vista. So, any way you slice it, Vista will be around for a while.

Vista and Me like twins. Its amazing that Microsoft still will not openly admit defeat in Vista and then carry on with XP and make it the best ever.I thought companies changed to earn more money but Microsoft seems stuck on flogging a dead horse. HP is the same, they will not support XP,will not sell computers with XP,they also claim HP computers are vista only and will not run vista but on their own web site is an article on how to switch back to XP .And XP runs very well on a Vista only machine from HP. I know I just switched to XP from Vista with a HP Pavillion. XP is the best.

I've heard a lot about Vista, mostly unfavorable. Compatability issues, driver support, hefty hdwe requirements, etc. Last Sunday, I talked with a woman who said, "I hate Vista." She recently bought a Dell computer installed with XP. On the other side of the fence, my boss recently got a Vista computer and he likes it. Of course, he has 3 GBs of RAM, and wants to install 3 GBs more. He may also have a dual or quad core processor. Maybe Vista might be more acceptable in time, but, for now, I think that I'll stick with XP.
