People have their own preference, but I believe because they don't get used to with vista and vista is still new, still have a lot og bugs and instabilities. But in the following years, vista in the end will replace XP definitely
you got lucky. now try vista on your other machine
I agree. Vista runs fine.

Well a Vista capable running XP or lower will run very well, admittedly (had 2 friends that recently did this) but I rather stick with Vista.
it depends on what you think, but Vista has too much unnecessary things.
Lots of people try running Vista on older hardware and encounter problems. Others are just scared of change.
Vista has to much garbage and they still have tons of bugs to get out ,i know for a fact is not fine tuned yet i like Xp
If you are running Home Basic the following hardware requirements are necessary: 1 GHz 32-bit (x86) or 64-bit (x64) processor; 512 MB of system memory; 20 GB hard drive with at least 15 GB of available space; Support for DirectX 9 graphics and 32 MB of graphics memory; DVD-ROM drive; Audio Output; Internet access (fees may apply).

I am running Home Premium the specs are a little different. When I first started running my Windows Vista I went through a tutorial that I bought for about $20 to learn how it worked. This really helped. I would not have understood the search feature changes otherwise. Also sometimes I need my File, Edit, View, Favorites menu and I learned to press the alt key to display it.

The biggest problem that I have had with VISTA is program compatibility. Programs like Adobe Acrobat Professional 5 that worked on XP will not Work on VISTA. I had to upgrade to version 8.1.1. This cost me money. Program compatibility is the main reason I would use MS Windows XP if possible.
