"should have just built a better XP"
Are you under the mistaken belief development on Windows XP has
stopped?
Not at all.
Patches and updates will continue to be developed for at least a few
more years.
The upcoming release of Service Pack 3 is a small part of that.

There is no controlling or babysitting done by Windows Vista although
some of the critics would have you believe it.
Like a lot of what critics say, much is little more than FUD.

Since Windows XP will be supported for at least a few more years,
there is no reason for anyone to upgrade as long as Windows XP does
what it needs to do.

Windows Vista works well on two older computers of mine.
