When I went to get a new PC recently I was told I could no longer get one with XP Pro because Microsoft had recalled all the installation disks.

I have had nothing but problems with Vista since buying a new PC in May. IT took me a week to install my printer, longer to install games, and I can’t get degrag chart graphics to display. I an not at all pleased, I wish that I could go back to XP.

I disagree, would you be more productive working in a scummy back office, or a posh office with plants and stuff. The prettyness wins IMO, and makes the working environment more pleasent

I’m in the same camp as Mike Cherim! I actually take as much presentation of my Windows as possible I actually feel a lot of unnecessary graphics and elements can slow production when your working on a PC so often.

I wasn’t going to, but I needed a new laptop, and I didn’t see any point in keeping XP.

Good info, Mike. I plan to avoid Vista at all costs updating only when forced to (I am satisfied with XP and I don’t see a lot of goodness being brought to the table by Vista), but should the need arise this may be valuable for me. Someday I suppose.
