Some people are willing to put up with Vista's slowness just because they don't like the way XP looks. They feel that buying a new machine that looks like the one they bought several years ago is a downer. Well, there is an alternative. Take a look here:<a class="user" href="http://www.istartedsomething.com/20061029/royale-noir/">http://www.istartedsomething.com/20061029/royale-n ...</a>That should give your bran new XP installation a very nice eye candy upgrade that will make it looks just a good as Vista. So, when your friends see of how much faster your computer is with XP than his Vista machine, and when he sees that yours looks just as good, you will be glad you got XP instead. ;)
1) Have you heard of DRM? Vista laid a good ground for its adoption. Many people including me think that users' computers (including the SW) should remain theirs. It only depends on you whether it will.2) It just eats much more memory. On my laptop with XP 2GB RAM is enough to work in few Adobe apps, couple of 3D modeling programs and Firefox. On Vista it is not from what I see on new laptops around me.3) What does it give better than XP that is my question. For example the 3D effects are useless unlike in KDE4 or Mac OS

Wow, you're talking about a product from 10 years ago. Let's compare Apple latest stuff back then as well...
