Comments on: Dell brings XP back for an encore

Dell has granted the XP operating system a reprieve.

Oh, please don't mislead anymore!

You DO NOT pay for both XP and Vista!

The downgrade XP option cost THE SAME as the Vista Business price.

Dell is going to charge $50 for the XP install from Vista Business. That was announced last week (I think).

Now I have 3 different kinds of XP version are Home Edition, Media Center Edition and Professional. I have 3 Computers with XP right now. Why XP is right for you? No crash everyday, freeze or slow down. More stable and smooth than Vista. Vista need dump out and keep Windows XP forever! Now to future(up to about year 2050 or more) I am very happy to have Windows XP! XP is rocks! Vista not doing any good. Lousy product on Vista. Why not Microsoft to throw Vista for free to Windows XP users who are complain on higher price right? Give these for FREE! I hope want get free Windows Vista and Windows 7. Because I waste money spend lot on new high performance computer for Gaming. About $4,000 on Pentium Dual Core 3.0GHz with 2 MB Cache, 2 GB RAM with 553 MHz, 250 GB Hard drive, 256 MB Nvidia 6800 with GDDR3, motherboard built in sound card and Ethernet. I did order from DELL. I really upset now. I need upgrade more powerful Quad processor, 4 GB memory RAM and higher video card with 512 MB to 1 GB. I will be ready to sue DELL and give me free upgrade hardware for my PC.

After reading your comment I actually HAD to post some type of reply. Maybe you should read what you wrote and you can see that it is very much an incoherent rant. Naturally, I would love to see you sue Dell. I am 99% sure you did not read the user agreement that you agreed to by keeping one of their computers over 30 days. It is virtually impossible to sue them and keep any money. That's right my incoherent ranter, you agreed to arbitration at the base sum of $5,000 to do it. Even if you were to win, it would be a Phyrric victory where you have gained little ground at a cost that out-weighs the gain.

Also, check your transition into suing Dell. It makes little sense. Maybe it was because "[you] really upset now," yeah, that is correct, you forgot the "am." Anyway, I hope that there is nobody from your business that sees you write like that. It would be a damned shame.

I own a personal copy of XP pro that i bought from Newegg.com about 2 weeks ago... I Installed it and it is sooooo much better then vista... My PC is by no means slow, but i had issues with vista claiming hardware failure that didnt exist... I have a intel core2quad processor, 4gb of memory, 3.26 visable, due to the 32bit OS... and a dual 8800gt video card setup. This machine i built by myself for 900 dollars... Once XP is completely unsupported i will most likely go to Ubuntu, (www.ubuntu.com) as that version of Linux is much better then vista, free, and has no major issues with hardware.. As for those stuck with vista, i feel your pain.. and wish you the best of luck...

I use XP Pro , Ubuntu, and Vista Business. I switched to Vista and I find it fast and stable. I will admit that there are problem with vista but the same problems existed with XP with it first came out to. The last time I booted XP it took over 30 min , and I was forced to give up. Vista on the other hand seems to stay fast.

I would use Linux more but the lack of GOOD software is a problem. I would like to be able to install the MAC OS on my notebook but that sadly is not easy.

Instead of birching about Vista why not give it some time. After disabling all the useless features like UAC its runes just as fast with more features
