Upgrade? Vista to XP... not the other way round...Originally posted by LatecomerX:Isn't this an upgrade? -
XP takes up less system resources and performance-wise more efficient than Vista. So it's definitely an upgrade. =P

downgrade or dual boot? Why would anyone want to do that? Vista is so much better.Originally posted by ndmmxiaomayi: -
Vista better? I still dont see the advantages of Vista. XP is better. Uses less resources.

Does it apply to cracked and pirated copies

Despite all the hype, it only looks better. Frankly, I see that it's no better.Originally posted by AndrewPKYap:downgrade or dual boot? Why would anyone want to do that? Vista is so much better.
Security wise, which is the main focus, managed to kill my interest for it.
While Windows XP has a firewall that only blocks inbound attacks, Windows Vista has a firewall that blocks both. However, by default, this feature is NOT ON. So I see no point in getting an OS that has security features of its predecessors.
Plus the fact that everything is still registry-based, it should be easy for viruses to turn off the damn firewall... just like in XP.
The idea of running on a limited account by default is a good idea, but is implemented so badly that it's near useless. They should take a cold hard look at how their UNIX counterparts implement it.
Antispyware... another resource hog. I don't see why it's compulsory. Although it could be turned off... but not completely at all.
It's said that Vista could handle resources better... but I'm seeing the opposite. Perhaps technology has not mature yet... it needs some machine with pretty good specs to run smoothly. -

Those intending to buy branded PCs, here's a piece of good news for you. MS has agreed to let these PC manufacturers to continue building PCs installed with XP until June next year, instead of January.
For those buying from these companies, you may notice that you may be using XP SP2C. This only applies if the manufacturer has ran out of license keys and the OS is XP Professional.
XP SP2C is the same as XP SP2. The only difference lies in the license keys as MS has ran out of license keys for XP SP2.
DIY users, however, will not have it lucky. MS only plans to let the XP Starter Edition to be on the shelves until 2010. This means no XP Home or XP Pro. Information about XP Starter Edition can be found at MS website: http://www.microsoft.com/presspass/newsroom/winxp/WinXPStarterFS.mspx
