I'm pretty sure while Microsoft is still strong we will eventually have to upgrade to vista, from XP eventually.

What do you guys think? How long is it gonna take for Vista to become like XP is now? (as in if you don't have XP you're still on ME you pretty much struggle with any new software)

I think maybe another 1 and a half year then XP's gonna seem really old.

Well when you put it as simple as people that didn't like Vista are moronic, its hard to judge it differently as you didn't point to "people at work" either.

Every single article about vista has revieled problems about Vista that need to be considered. Most people that tried it and reverted back did not see anything that was worth keeping in Vista, or they would of stayed.

now i'm going to be quiet after this post on this topic because it is going back and forth on how Vista does suck or doesn't suck. There are some people out there that believe anyone using Vista for computing have a "moronic IQ"

I know I will transfer my stuff to Vista in couple of months.
I know also that it's important to stick with the people, I know I have to get to Vista, as it's newer and all...

The question was, to look if I made some spelling mistakes, or used wrong words
My native language isn't english so that's why I wondered But I can understand from all of your reactions that you can understand the presentation

It seems that the opinions differs a lot, but my presentation is only to let my classmates know that Vista is not really better than XP (I never tried Vista myself, so this presentation is only based on other reviews, but my classmates and teacher don't know that)

Marten, good presentation based on YOUR OPINION. As you can see XP versus Vista can bring an interesting discussion.
