| Network slowdowns when playing music... I'm adding "90% Network slowdown when playing music" to the long list of reasons why I'm not going to Vista for a long, long time (if ever). In fact, right now I'm more likely to move to Ubuntu than to go to Vista.
Most likely, though, I'll remain with XP for the foreseeable future. I think many other people are sticking with XP also. And that's a big problem for Microsoft. I've long said that their biggest competition is themselves. If people find the old versions good enough for their needs, then people won't upgrade and Microsoft can be in the interesting situation of being 1) the market leader and 2) not making any money from the market. |

XP(I believe) geys Mainstream Support until 2014.
I'm ok with that.
