How Do You Feel About Going Back To Win XP After Having Used Vista?

I had xp on a couple of laptops, then they died, so I got one with Vista. It recently died, and the computer store got me a great deal on a re-furb, but it runs XP. I am familliar with XP, and I love it. The only things I miss about Vista are a couple of games, and my built-in web cam. How about you?

Hello dear. Well i have been using XP for a long time, and i don't plan on changing any time soon. Vista was in my opinion and of course the opinions of others as well a huge joke and let down from microsoft that was a leach on computer resources with little to show on return. Yes the interface looked a bit more modern, and with windows 7 things improved a bit, and the new operating system allowed for integration of direct x 10 and 11, and maybe even more, but for the moment i prefer my good old windows XP :)

We weren't crazy about Vista. Right now I have XP on my cpu and Windows 7 on my laptop. I don't notice a difference really but I don't play around with it much. I go on the laptop with a purpose, either to play my game or get online.. I don't mess with Windows much.

I am hopping mad!!! I sent my laptop into the original company for it to be repaired, as it is still under warranty. When I sent it to them, it had Windows7 on it. I just got it back yesterday, learned it was a hard drive issue. Anyway, when I turn it on, I find that they have downgraded it to Windows XP! That's like taking your Cadillac in for a tune up, and it comes out a Toyota! I loved the new capabilities I had with Windows7. It was very easily accessible, and even had voice capabilities. Now I sit here feeling like I'm in time out! I will just have to wait until I can afford a new set of recovery disks; I lost one of the first set I had! *eyeroll*

Well I still using windows xp because I think its performance far more better than vista. Talking about windows vista, I got bad impression about it when I saw my friend using it. Even Microsoft people consider it as their black sheep operating system. I think I'll switch to Windows Seven soon, they say its much better than vista.
