Saving Windows XP

[sisterhoney61 {RW}]

I hate, hate, HATE Vista! I want my XP back! When Master and I got O/our last computer W/we had no choice but to get Vista. I can't think of anyone I know who has Vista and likes it. They all hate it. When I first learned how to use a computer it was on a Mac, so I'm wondering now if O/our next one ought to be a Mac.

I do some private IT work for different people and not a single one of them has a good word to say for Vista. One person actually sent a computer back to the retailer and got his money back because they wouldn't put XP on it. A local charity that I do some work for almost ground to a halt because none of their software would run properly on Vista. I still have 'phone calls from people who buy new peripherals that won't run with Vista, even after downloading updated drivers from manufacturers' websites.

I think I've used just about every OS on the market from DOS right the way through to Vista.

As somebody pointed out earlier, do you really think Microsoft really gives a shit? Personally, I'd rather have XP but I do think that XP will go eventually (maybe not as soon as Mr Gates and Co would like) but it will go...and like it or loathe it, Vista will stay
