Windows Vista vs Windows XP

[Husar]

So you find it acceptable to buy a new thing that is actually worse than a previous version ?! But it's okay 'cause it's shinier ?
I'm curious, do you apply the same principle in any other aspect of your life, i.e. with any other purchases ?

Yes, games.
You know, MTW ran slower than STW, yet it was shinier.

Nope, comparing apples and oranges here, MTW had new features, improved stability, etc. With Vista it is the other way around over XP, for example.
I personally do not consider MTW to have been worse than STW, which is what I was asking about. If you liked STW better, that's a different story, we weren't talking about _liking_, but about _worse_.

If I had partitioning software, I'd dump Vista faster than an ex with syphilis and dual-boot to XP.

I personally do not consider Vista to be worse than XP either, for me it runs stable, has more features and looks better. Before I just mentioned that it may be slower, but my point was that slower does not necessarily equal worse.
I'm sorry if it doesn't work for someone but I am not going to run around screaming that it crashes when it doesn't for me.
When a game or demo crashes it also seems to handle that better than XP in my experience. Maybe I magically acquired a fixed version or it's the tradeoff for me having no girlfriend, but my experience with Vista is that it's better than XP except for the compatibility.
