Windows Vista

Oh god nforcer, I completely agree. Upgrading is such a hassle.

I'm sticking with XP Pro and OS X, finally started using Macs when I started an internship a few weeks ago and this $300 computer runs great (and the skins are hot).

Read my post DDR 9 Footer.

Rule of thumb: NEVER EVER EVER upgrade a Windows version. Always do a fresh install.

I don't ever feel like leaving XP, pretty as Vista is. Maybe I should wait for Vienna.

yeah-- XP is INFINITELY better... Vista is still buggy and wierd...

Vienna?... dunno what that is.. I just got an idea..
They need to make a new XP that is a bit upgraded (not to the point where vista is) and it performs in the same way.

Vienna is to Vista what Vista is to XP; it's the codename for Microsoft's next OS, and it's already in development.

I'm so used to XP and I'm a master at support for the OS. However, Vista is quite different, as Windows 2000 was from XP. My technical ability is going to diminish. Damn you, Microsoft ;-;

An upgraded XP, you say? With some Vista features? It's coming with XP SP3, free to all XP SP2 users. I forget the project quarter release (and can't really check because I'm using my Wii), but just do a Google search for XP SP3 and it should come up.
