Vista is bad, I'm working a couple of projects where I have to interoperate with various Operating systems and Vista can be a real pain.

It isn't just Vista that has you 'confirm' every damn button click, apparently the new McAfee internet security suite includes the 'feature' as well.

bah humbug.

My XP computer has been solid as a rock for a long time now. W2000 was pretty darned goot too. I'm very happy with XP and if MS came out with a product that was all that and some smokin' boobies I'd be all over it.

What could they improve on XP anyway?

Well, I imagine 64-bit could be better so I think that hardware optimization would likely be the best bet.

I think XP is fairly secure and the controls they put into Vista are lame. They destroy the user experience and turn a computer into an unusable box laced with toxic heavy metals.

I really like Mac OS but haven't been able to really make the switch since my work uses XP. Ideally I could just run Linux...
