I place it just on the heals of XP right now


The heals? In knew it was wounded!

Typo. Heels then.

Point still remains, XP is seasoned, stable and Microsoft wants to
discontinue its most accepted product? Marketing should be shot. That is
like Coke saying no more Coke Classic. They tried that, once.

What they should do is have an XP SP4 with a load of new drivers in it to
keep it current and stable. Let user downgrade, Vistax64-XP64 included.
This is after all what the market is telling Microsoft.

XP can compete with Linux and do well, but Vista....nada. Vista is like the
Titanic after the water was leaking in. Vista drives people to Apple and
Linux. It will be slow at first, but will pick up as word spreads. See Eee
PC sales....suppliers can't keep the Linux varieties in stock.
