Thumbs down You should upgrade to XP SP3 from Vista

Why all Vista users should upgrade to Windows XP
Posted by winbeta on Saturday, Dec 22, 2007

Don Reisinger: Now that Microsoft has announced the availability of the RC version of Service Pack 3 for our old friend, XP, I'm delighted to tell you all that not only is this upgrade substantial and extremely helpful. Believe it or not, this upgrade creates the best Windows experience I have ever used.

Now, as you may be aware, Vista is, well, crap. Sure, SP1 is on the way early next year and the hope is still there that Microsoft may be able to turn it around, but let's face it -- the chances of Vista becoming a wanted OS are dwindling by the minute.

Let's see what has gone down with Vista over the past year: Dell, HP and Acer have all asked Microsoft to extend XPs availability for an additional six months due to the concerns of customers; many businesses have been slow to adopt the new OS because of poor performance and compatibility issues; complaints have soured the release claiming Microsoft's new OS is slower, less capable and downright awful; and last but certainly not least, it's as if Microsoft can't stand Vista considering the level of detail it's releasing on its follow-up, Windows 7.

Interesting read Snuffy. He provides no evidence to support the "betterness" of XPSP3 though. In this regard, I really have no problems with XPSP2 or Vista. I doubt seriously that I will even install Vista SP-1 when it hits gold status.

Not to botherd about it myself as I dont need to search alot however I like the idea of using the start menu to search for say "cal" and having a direct link to calculator come up.
