Correct me if am wrong ! but i think windows XP is way better then Windows Vista :whistle:

Everyone has different opinions about which version of Windows one prefers... Diversity of opinions is welcome, and, as such, we have set up different sections in the forum where people can discuss their favorite one... :whistle:

In fact, there's even a poll about Vista vs. XP. Would you like to participate?
