    Now with all the different version of windows available....which do you really find yourself sticking to?

    XP = The Best OS MS has ever released! No bloatware, fast, responsive, does everything I want, including tean and coff33 :D

    Vista = Total POS that MS has released in haste just to get rid of XP and make even more money

    Windows 7 = Tried it, loved it! Once it's released, i'm definately switching, but until then, Goold ol XPeh will serve me well till Windows 7 is final!

    I haven't explored Windows 7 yet, but I have grown to like Vista over the last two years. It was NOT fun in the beginning...but as the issues have been addressed and we've all migrated to 3-4GB of RAM, I really don't like XP anymore. Almost all of my customers are still on XP Pro, so I end up using it quite a bit still. But all my computers run Vista.

    I'm still freakin' HATE Office 2007, though! :eek:

    a typical flamewar thread. vista is great. if you believe win7 is great, then so is vista in your eyes. it's technically the same with little change and enhancements. xp is old and evolved quite a bit. but it was the same you think vista is now. bloated slow crap with no real new stuff etc blabla. now you love it.

    Topic for you

    Thread closed, it's pointless. If everyone would have posted objective, non-flaming comments, the thread could have stayed open. Saying things like "Windows _____ sucks" doesn't help anyone.
