So what you are saying is that your psychiatrist said you are crazy and you
don't believe him? Better up your dosage. More medication until you fall
down.

So Dip-Shit, you spoke with most industry people? Oh, yea, in the drive
thru line at McDonald's when you take their order.

Supersize those fries.

You just stare at the screen with Vista. You actually don't know how Vista
works.

It doesn't matter if Vista is OEM or not. All Vista Business, Ultimate, or
Enterprise editions have downgrade rights to XP Pro (or Tablet) or 2000 Pro.
The channel they were acquired from doesn't matter. The end user or the OEM
can install the downgrade.

No. Windows Vista is vastly superior to Windows XP in every respect.

LOL... and just what does your claim mean? Is it superior in software
compatibility? I should stop there since that alone destroys your argument.
It makes me sick to think of the programs I could run under XP and not under
Vista. Hey... and what about that snazzy new Windows Explorer file
mismanagement system that took away the move/up level/copy buttons... as well
as removed them from the context menu. BRILLIANT!!!! I could go on but it's
not worth my time talking to a Vista fundie/fanboy.

Vista RIP? Absolute nonsense.

XP has been shown the exit door months ago by MS and most of the software
development program community because Vista is superior in performance to XP.

Return to XP? Not a chance.

Not Even Me

oh geez, I have yet to see anything Vista does better, and it is slower on
the same hardware.
My Q6600/4Gb/512MB PCIe/2x500GB SATA system dual boots Ultimate/XP Pro, I
can feel the difference in XP's performance over Ultimate.
