    That's because you are already familiar with it.

    Already thought it looked a lot like OSX. A well they can have their microwave meal. People are going to stick with XP anyway now that it is finally ready for release

    I seriously don't know why everyone is not happy about Vista. I have Vista Ultimate 64-bits for like 1 year, and I am perfectly happy with it!

    The only downside is the "feel" of Vista, its waaay too plastic. I prefer XP much more when it comes to graphics and stuff. For me XP is better than Vista only on the feel factor, the rest they are perfectly equal.
    Ja mata, TosaInu. You will forever be remembered.

    Been to:

    Swords Made of Letters - 1938. The war is looming in France - and Alexandre Reythier does not have much time left to protect his country. A novel set before the war.

    A Painted Shield of Honour - 1313. Templar Knights in France are in grave danger. Can they be saved?

    Actually I like Vista's modern look, XP looks old and outdated to me.
    There are a few bugs in Vista but there are worse ones in XP (like bluescreens, still haven't had one in Vista).
    I still have a copy of XP that I use very, very rarely for the odd game that won't run in Vista.

    This Windows 7 here doesn't look too different from Vista, some small new feature here and there it seems, though I didn't read the link or anything.

    1) A "bluescreen" isn't a bug.

    2) I've had this copy of XP running now for about 3 years and never seen a BSoD yet.

    3) Seeing a BSoD isn't a problem in itself it's usually an indicator of an underlying problem, usually related to defective/overheating hardware or buggy device drivers.

    4) BSoDs in XP are disabled by default, the OS reboots. I have always disabled the reboot option and have still never seen a BSoD on any XP machine except where defective/overheating hardware or buggy device drivers were the culprit. Usually the former and usually memory in particular.

    5) There is no evidence to show that there are somehow "more bugs in XP than in Vista".

    For the same reason albatrosses aren't happy when an oil-frigat sinks.

    Vista is under-rated yes, but XP is still IMO the better operating system.

    Windows 7 is something I look forward to greatly.
