Well, I disagree. If you wish to install Windows XP,
an O/S fast approaching its intended end-of-life-cycle,
you won't be sorry. However, it is not as secure
and reliable as Windows Vista has proven to be.

Thanks, I appreciate your feedback. However, based on my further reading,
it doesn't seem that a lot of others agree. XP SP2 has been very reliable
for me and I am simply afraid of making the move to Vista only to find that
I get lots of troubles.
