XP Petition

What a load of *******

This bit is especially comical

There is a precedent for that, too: In many respects, Vista is like the Windows Millennium Edition that was meant to replace Windows 98 in 2000 but caused more trouble than it was worth. At that time, Windows 2000 was promising but didn't support a lot of hardware, so users were stuck between two bad choices. Without admitting Millennium's failure, Microsoft quietly put Windows 98 back on the market until the fixed version of Windows 2000 (SP1) was available. Microsoft needs to do something like that again today.

I stopped reading here:

The problem with this logic is that it assumes there is a viable alternative. Unfortunately, Windows Vista is not it, a fact attested to by the OS' meager 6 percent installed base in the enterprise. And while Windows Server 2008 has proven to be a formidable workstation OS, such a non-standard configuration will never achieve mainstream desktop status.

XP is an old OS, let it die. I'm also trying to find any actual reasons why people don't like Vista on that site. It seems to be assumed knowledge.

Dudes, give it up! Your vendor has decided to EOL a favorite product in favor of a newer one that you don't like quite so much. If you don't like it either live with it or get a new vendor. Whining louder and louder won't change things if the vendor has enough capital sunk into the new system.
 
I've only been using Vista x64 for two days and I can't see myself going back to XP again.
 
Me neither as Im not go back to XP, Im much happy with Vista 64... XP is much older OS also too much hotfix patches in your add/remove list.

Im stay in Vista Ultimate x64 - no u-turn to XP... sorrry
 
Save XP :D You know if we had this mentality towards every new piece of tech we wouldn’t get nowhere, let it die and move on.
 
Vista has 6% of the Windows enterprise market already? Wow :eek::cool: That's very very good considering Server 2008 only came out literally a few months ago!

Die XP die... is what I say. It was a great OS but like anything it becomes old. XP should have been superseded by 2004 at the latest but it wasn't so now it REALLY is ripe for retirement.
 
been using vista now for almost a year and would not think twice about going back to xp would not even use media centre verison of xp would rather pay a bit extra and use vista home premium or ultimate and use the integrated media centre
