510312 2006-12-28 06:02:00 I'm using it right now, can't tell you which version. All I can tell is that their operating system still have flaws that need fixing. It looks pretty neat but you need to have a good system to run especially games. msnforum (11610)

Yeah, but how long before they stop supporting XP? Then there will be very little choice.

Not support XP ? Dammit, it isn't out of beta yet, it's only at SP 2.

510315 2006-12-28 08:10:00 Anybody considering using Vista should have a good long hard, objective, look at that article and any similar.

Next step, DRM for net content? That's not so far fetched if you consider what AOL and Yahoo (I think) want to do with premium content (not just music and movies, but stuff like email you, the user, considers is a priority).

Granted we can now see why they didn't have time to integrate the features that would have made the OS worth buying, They were too busy deep throating their real customers.

And, Nobody is forced to upgrade, No matter what MS do or say, Their support for XP is crap to say the least and we wont be any worse off for them pulling it.
