    Vista may not be right for everyone – at least not yet. XP still continues to be the workhorse operating system that can serve most users the best computing experience.

    XP is faster

    When it comes to our existing hardware, XP performs way better. Aero environment on Vista requires a 512MB GPU for crying out loud!

    XP is compatible

    Almost all the programs that have been developed for any Windows version is compatible with XP.

    XP is familiar

    XP has been around for a long time now and people are comfortable with the look and feel and ease of use of XP.

    XP is mature

    Released in 2002, XP has stayed in limelight for over 5 years now. It has a very large user base and most of the bugs and security issues have been fixed in the previous 2 service packs.

    XP is flexible

    With slight customizations and theming, XP can look just like Vista. Try out WindowBlinds and add some Widgets .. and you’re done!

    To further corroborate our hypothesis, here are the results of tests run at AnandTech

        Old Computers ?… ummm … no…
        Lenovo ThinkCentre Intel Dual Core 2.4ghz with 4g ram complete with Vista 32 installed and even a little sticker on the outside that states ‘Windows Vista’… some find Vista is Magic. The majority find it a dog ..

      Tried to use Vista for 16 months at home. Fed up with it. Tooooooo sllooooowwwwwwwwwww. My company uses XP for work and no issues at all….

      I just bought an OEM XP PRO and will install this over the Vista rubbish and smile again !!!.
      Vista = Rubbish.

    5. whatever says:

      yea. xp rules. vista is super laggy and alot of game cannot play. i wish they did not come out with window vista. ass holes

    6. Vista FU (new OS) says:

      i have a vista, an XP,and an iMac.
      iMac gets 5 stars
      XP gets 4.5 stars
      Vista gets -10 stars!

      at first vista seems obviously superior, untill the glitches, disconnections, blue screens, black screens. and red screens come. then youy figure out its now compatible with anything exept itself, not even older versions of windows! XP is the best, it may not be quite as fast as macs but it is comatible with almost anything, and games are easy to play on it. GO XP. DEATH TO VISTA. i wonder if windows 7 will be any good, lets hope so

    7. Nishant says:

      I think windows7 will change everyone opinions.

    9. Shivam says:

    10. Chita says:

      I love XP and I Hate Vista..Vista missed up!! I always get trouble on Vista..XP is Simple and reliable…

    11. Lorenz says:

      Nothing but tears with Vista. I should be criminal to exploit the innocent. And then run to the bank.

    12. BlackPuma says:

      I totally agree.

      Windows Vista might look superior, but when it comes to compatibility it’s a complete disaster. Especially with games, there were multiple games where I had to go trough dozens of forums to get them to work, and some didn’t work at all.

      Vista only works perfectly for those who buy only the newest software. I don’t understand why they don’t just take Windows XP, and work up from there. XP is lightweight, reliable and simple.. and I for one, would love to see Windows XP extension packs, in stat of new Windows’s if they’re going to be like Vista.

      But that’s just me..
