Even with the SP1 update, Win XP SP2 still outperforms Vista with the
new and improved SP1.
I hope MS gets it together before it is time for me to buy a new computer.
"Geek squad" explains it in less than an hour. Actually he makes a good
point in the first couple minutes.

And xp is slower that windows 98. Every new os has been slower on the
same hardware than the previous one. Ever boot dos on a new machine?
Old dos programs run incredibly fast.

The only reason to upgrade OS is if it offers a feature and benefit you
can not get with the old OS. Vista has not really offered any benefit
to upgrade and get a slower machine, which is why many people are paying
an upcharge to have Win XP installed on new machines, instead of Vista.
