XP's Service Pack
by neotech696 September 24, 2007 7:21 PM PDT
Just hope Microsoft is working on SP 3 for Windows XP - I think Vista (AKA Windows Millenium 2007) is beyond help - or maybe they will get it right with service pack 22? Vista is a Downgrade from XP - they got their notes backwards.

Vista really works
by aemarques September 25, 2007 2:25 AM PDT
Vista really works for me. I have 4 PCs at home, 2 with XP, a notebook with Vista and a desktop (mine) with Vista. For me, it is painful to get back to an XP machine.
Vista is a great product and I hope that with SP1 it will be even better.
If you have the right hardware (damn!, even Intel GMA 950 integrated graphics run the Aero interface smoothly in my Toshiba U200!) and you don't have any problems with drivers or incompatible apps, Vista is excellent.
And even if you do have problems, you can allays run XP in a window, with (free!) Virtual PC 2007.
