Thats cool.. im sure some will.
As for getting XP only because people are naive and settle for what they are first told, you can get it, even Vista itself comes with a downgrade option now. only reason people might think its faster in those ads is because MS is showing them on high end systems, not the systems that most people are upgrading.
Tests performed by PcMag, PcComputing to name a few show that Vista is slower than XP, and its not about native applications like some will claim. Simple file copying which is built in, is much slower with Vista, and thats with top notch equipment so much for that 32/64bit architecture.
Facts are facts, Microsofts ad campaign is heresay. I'll stick to the facts.
My biggest gripe, is that they try to force letting Vista do everything for you, including manager your files. Some people are computer "lazy" and want it to do this for them. I want my files organized a specific way, and Microsofts way is ineffective, and inefficient. I've edited files 3-4 times trying to overwrite an original and Vista out thinks me and says you couldnt possibly have wanted to overwrite the original, and tucks my new copy someplace I have no clue where it is, and of course doesnt help me as its not where it needs to be. Until I turned of the User Access Control in Vista which MS would never recommend anyone doing, the OS was making decisions for me that I did not want it to make. If I wanted "Windows for dummies" id go buy the book and read it and learn about using windows, I would never install it on my computer as my OS.
