Considering that XP is currently the most popular, and used operating system in the -world-, it says alot about Microsofts current problems when they suddenly, and without warning, they declare they are ending support. They are ending XP licensing next month.

This tells me that VISTA is such a grand failure, but MS has devoted so much money that they have no choice but to scare people into buying it.

I'm sure some like it, but the bottom line is this:
Its slower. It uses more memory. It uses more resources. It does not work with many COMMON applications, or hardware. I don't like IE7, or the mac-style interface.

When my XP machine finally dies, I'm switching fully over to Linux (or similar)
