Now the problem is that XP is fast enough and stable enough that there is no need for Vista. They might say its more secure but XP SP2 with an internet security package is fully secure too. We have to install third-party security software on Vista anyway so whats the point of upgrading. And also, XP SP3 tweaks XP performance better than Vista SP1 does for Vista according to reviews. Unless they intentionally cripple SP3 after these reviews to give Vista an edge, XP SP3 would be the best Windows edition out yet. XP had two things to offer over 98, performance and stability.

I installed Vista last Jan and I'm yet to come across a freeze,crash,BSOD or watever.If there is anything I hate about the PC, I hate its the incompetent users.
