LOL! People, who then realise that the OS before was better for them for another year.

I believe they are called Microsoft's guinea pigs. Those people will find any bugs for them.

It doesn't even seem like XP is dying. Everyone keeps saying it's old, but I don't feel the feeling I felt when we saw XP after using 98. VIsta just doesn't look like it is much different.

Vista may be worth it in a year or two but right now it aint a great choice. Most programs hardware and games etc just arent made for the vista OS. It's not suprising to have such a tough time with it and to have stuff missing after the install.

Everyone knows you only get a new OS when it either comes with a new computer you buy, or after a few months when a patch is released...

Even after 5 years of having XP, it still doesn't seem at all outdated. I'll get Vista when I'm forced to

I could have got Vista on my new PC but got media centre XP instead, a computer technician advised me it was very very buggy, and apparently he was going round fixing loads of Vista PC's with internet issues in particular.

People buy it because they don't care. It's the accepted OS, but that doesn't make it good. Let's be honest... It doesn't really work, does it? Far too many errors, and it's so slow.

You can get a Mac Mini for just £300, I think. (If you already have a monitor and keyboard etc.)

I would hardly reccomend installing vista on a computer that already has XP. Just buy it pre-installed.

You can ponder that while you do something other than posting for the next few days. Two years... sheez.
