Grassroots Effort to Save Windows XP

Microsoft wants to stop selling Windows XP on June 30, but not all of its customers are happy about that, or excited about the prospect of switching to Vista.
Infoworld has started an online petition designed to rally support behind the old operating system—the site has even been soliciting support videos. Even if you don't share the passion of the XP support community, Infoworld's list of reasons for saving the operating system, culled from a variety of sources, makes for interesting reading. Fewer business are planning to switch to Vista, some analysts say it's never going to be the right choice for most enterprise IT outfits, and several reports indicate that it's just not performing as well as it should. PCWorld.com even shows you how to switch back from the new to the old.—Gregory Mone

i got a new laptop with Windows Vista, but had to take it back and change it for one with XP, because there was no way I could do my work on Vista.

There are just too many programs I have that are not compatible.

The major programs may be compatible now, but even so, upgrading programs is v.expensive.

If Vista was compatible with existing softwares then fine, but as it is not it just makes life v.difficult imo
