So in other words, if you had a choice between windows vista, and windows vista, which would you choose?

no such thing as XP SE

 

[ghost recon88]

do you mean Windows XP with SP3?

 

[13Gigatons]

The point is would you have preferred an improved version of Windows XP or what Vista has become.

If there is a XP SE that can run DX10 and doesn't ream you a new one with one DRM technology after another then yes I'd much prefer that to Vista.

Yes I made it up, I'm asking if people are happy with were Vista has ended up or they would have rather have an improved version of Windows XP that keeps the Visual Styles and other decent features that they threw away in Vista.

For instance Vista Basic does not have Aero Glass only Premium and Ulitmate do and Vista looks pretty bad without it.
