Is your computer using Windows XP platform? If you want to continue using XP, what problems will you face? If you buy a PC with Vista installed and decide you want XP instead, what are your options?
"The approaching death of Windows XP may upset you, but it shouldn't come as a surprise. Microsoft Corp.'s product life-cycle guidelines have foretold the fate of XP since 2001. In fact, Microsoft has been killing off one version of a product as it is replaced with another for years now. But this time around, the approaching demise of XP is getting more attention than, say, the final passing of Windows 2000.
Why? For a couple of reasons: XP is the most widely used operating system on the planet, and its long-delayed successor, Windows Vista, is not proving to be universally popular. The companies that make up the enterprise market for Windows are dragging their feet about upgrading, and on the consumer side there are signs of a rebellion against Vista." Read the full story

It took me years to finally give up 98SE and switch to XP. Recently, when my desktop unit belly flopped I switched to this laptop which runs Vista. I'd agree with ikaban, it does suck up too much cpu. On a side note, I took my desktop and switched it from XP to Ubuntu and am finding that quite an adventure, one I would recommend.
