Atari 2600's are still quite popular video toasters, as a matter of fact.

Vista IS a piece of ****. Thousands have reverted to XP from Vista, and MS
has backed off on curtailing support for XP. Computer manufacturers are
supplying copies of XP to end users who are unhappy with Vista (especially
as used in laptops) because it's a resource hog and it's security features
and DRM are royal PITA's.


I think the time has passed where manufacturers can evenput XP on a computer
anymore...unless it's a small local shop.

Dell, HP, Gateway and others, thru their MS agreement are not offerring PC's
with XP...even if you ask especially for it.



Many quietly provide an after-purchase path to"upgrade" back to XP.
Vista is a disaster. Microsoft eats a big **** sandwich. Linux is free.
