    Yup. I simply have more freedom on XP, and that's the way I like it. All the windows compatibility, with none of the defects, glitches, DRM, UAC, or other "benefits" of Vista.
    XP just works.

    XP will be around for a while. It's pretty much the best product Microsoft has pushed out in a while, with Office 2003 being second IMO. Of course, comparing it to the competitors, that's a pretty sad statement.

    But hey, this is what happens when you delay the successor so long, make it impossible to run on most of the business machines currently in use (hardly any computers at my work have more than 512MB of memory), and then price it so high.
