Maybe they will fix some of these problems with the 1st service pack. Until then, I am fine running XP.
same here. when a fix or another service pack comes out, I will probably upgrade to vista. The look and feel of it was okay, but it was just too slow for my liking and I am very happy running xp sp2. I can remember back in the day when xp made its debut and it had its share of little quirks just as vista does now.

I never thought i'd be formatting my brand new computer right out of the box and redoing everything, but I must say I'm glad I did put it on XP.
