[quote name='KingBroly']Bunny ears rock! But not as much as Kuriboh's shoe. Also, why the vista hate? I'm using now (My old lappy died), and with Office XP, it works okay.[/quote]Gotta love the shoe!
I think you've answered your own question. It's just not different enough from XP to warrant an upgrade. And where it is different, it's stupid. Why do I need 2 GB of RAM to run the OS alone well? It's not that Vista is bad (except it's search functions, it always feels like a freaking chore to just get it to a normal, wild-card-enabled file name search), it's just that there's no reason to run it. Even those my PC can run Vista fine, I prefer to run with XP's snappiness.
More off topic stuff: For those running Vista, I highly recomment checking out
vLite before you reinstall next to strip out the crap you don't use and set it to be pre-customized in its settings after its done installing.
nLite is for 2000, XP, and 2003. For instance, taking out all the extra languages other than English (or your language of choice) saves several
gigs from both XP and Vista.
