I somewhat agree. Vista is a real resource hog and still
has quite a few bugs. There are a lot of programs that
still don't work correctly with Vista and won't until the
vendors come out with updates for their programs. Their is
a service pack that is coming out for Vista within the next
few months and that will correct at least some of the
problems that Vista users are reporting.

what M$ product isn't a resource hog? what is wrong with
writing elegant, unbloated code?
have they made any form of Vista that runs games yet? not all
of us choose to use computers as 'business' machines, or to
buy game consoles.

I recommend that anyone that still has XP not "upgrade"
their OS to Vista. Microsoft has announce that they will
continue to support XP until at least 2014 and Service Pack
3 will be out for it latter this year.

my 7 year old got a laptop from his grandpa for Christmas.
grandpa took off the Vista & put XP Pro on, & we set it up for
dual boot with Linux when it got here. the boy prefers Linux.
