Windows Vista blows so they are making a new version of windows that will behave the same way as XP in XP mode.

As an XP user I will stay where I am until they get it right. I think that might be quite some time.

Plain Jane Vista SE....

The XP mode is a stupid idea. Come out with a fairly nice new OS and then toss in the option for the cheap and the stupid to install every XP security hole ever invented and compromise it.
It will just allow third party vendors to drag their feet upgrading their shit to Windows7, which was 90% of the gripe with Vista.

Apart from a new memory manager, Vista is pretty much just XP with severely bloated new window dressing anyway.

Vista is to Windows 7 what WindowsME was to WindowsXP. An unfinished scrap heap being sold as new, improved product just to make a quick buck from unwary consumers that can be easily taken advantage of while they get the real thing ready to launch.
