Download NowThoughts on XP and Vista
It really shouldn't be surprising that a six and a half year old operating system doesn't offer the same level of functionality and usability as a new OS. But then that's the point here, isn't it? No one in their right mind would claim that XP was somehow "better" than Vista. Only that it is good enough. I believe this sentiment to be correct. XP is good enough, for the short term, good enough to last you until you replace or upgrade whatever PC you're currently using and upgrade to Windows Vista. Good news: You're going to love it.
