Hi all, if you hate vista, show your support for xp, sign the petition and put the word out that Microsoft's customers can fight back. link removed
Actually, as long as you can license Vista Business OEM or Vista Ultimate OEM, which is probably until at least 2015 or beyond, you will be able to exercise downgrade rights to install WinXP Pro in its place, at no additional charge. You can also switch back to Vista afterwards, for no additional charge.
So it appears your problem is already solved. Whether you agree or not, this thread smells like a mixture of Spam, trolling and flamebait, and is now locked. If you want to engage in serious, logical discussion about Windows, however, feel free to start a new thread and do so.
