I disagree with you on this charles,
I would sugggest that people 
should look at the class action 
law suit over this issue...

If it wasn't an issue you would not have
seen this Law Suit imho.

EVEN at MS conferences I attended MANY of the attendees 
preferred XP over Vista for a number of reasons 
( in particular the MS launch event I mentioned
awhile back where they were giving away MS software.)

>From what i could tell from one session where the
presenter asked about XP vs Vista Preferences there
were at LEAST 5x more people who preferred XP vs Vista.

there are numerous reports you can dig up. This is
just an sample of one...

I have also noticed a LOT of people who want to
downgrade their new systems which CAME with Vista
to XP... that should tell you something...
