[QUOTE="tautitan123"]Well XP looks like it was drawn by a child with too many coloured pencils to hand. Vista was and still is a great leap forward over XP in terms of useability and features. Windows 7 kicks the crap out of both XP and Vista even though it is still in beta and those looking forward to using that 7 year old printer will be shocked to learn that it probably won't have proper drivers in Windows 7 either unless they weave some magic into their compatibility settings. Please let XP die. The only reason it seems easier is because you are used to using it and have heard bad things about Vista.WhiteSnake5000First of all, I don't even use the Fisher price theme, I use classic. And I even used it when I had Vista for awhile. I don't care about pretty task bars and windows. And it's not the Drivers, I've had no problems with Vista and getting my hardware to work with it. As for usability and features, it all depends on what you do. I just play games, surf the internet, listen to music, use xfire, and yeah... That's about it. As for directx10, I don't see the big deal in it, even Crysis in DX9 looks pretty much identical on Very High settings to DX10 Very High. And the few games that used DX10 were DX9 but used DX10 features, and still ended up not looking that much better and performing worse. And Vista is just as easy to use as Windows XP, although slightly re-arranged and annoying until you disable UAC. But yeah, I don't know what you mean by let XP die. I'll keep using it because it still works, I don't have to buy a new OS yet to play any new games, and well like I said the performance in my games is still a bit better in XP. I'll keep using it until Windows 7 is the norm the same way I used Windows 98 until Windows XP was. Well it seems that some people do care how "pretty" objects are on the Desktop, ala OSX. Clearly Microsoft is not catering to just you...
