Uh... what? I'd think it'd be the other way around.

No, it's not.

I don't recal XP being defective by design, having so much built in DRM that I can't watch my HD-DVDs, etc.

oops type

XP has been a stable OS for years despite what the mac/linux groupies (I used to be one) say.

I won't be using this for a fair while, to many things just popping up and bothering me. I don't need to click 100 'Ok' boxes when I want to download a simple file.

Where do you get that? They have pop ups for when something is trying to access your computer. Anyways, it will ask you once and that's it.

I tried it in its final beta stages @ work and this is what happened,

Download a file, confirm that I want to download it (2 Clicks)
Try to open a file, get told it might be dangerous, so I click Ok (2 Clicks)
Get another pop-up telling me a program is trying to install something on my computer, am I sure I want to do that? (1 Click)

Program finally begins to install. Thats 3 extra clicks, I should just have to open a file and it will start installing.

Also, Aero sucks, my computer is slightly better then the recommenced requirements for Aero and it runs as slow as a dog.

Anyway, I didn't like XP when it first came out, it took me 3 years to install it on my system and now I love it, so in three years time I might revisit Vista.
