| You're nonsensical (again).
XP has a 64bit version.
DX10 is pretty much pointless, all hype no show, the devil was in the details.
I'm not going to move from XP on the machines that have it: there just nothing interesting in Vista/7, and there sure are lots of annoyances (from drivers to sluggishness, like the post-XP "File Open" dialogs... urg I hate those slow things).
As for security, well don't use Outlook or IE and you'll be safer than the lastest Vista/7. Flag this | Edit this post |

| "It's only function is to inform and discuss copyright law, not take sides."
*cough* *cough* *cough*
Organizations that inform and discuss any subject *always* have a view on the subject, regardless of what they claim.

| XP still works and does everything I need it to (ie. FireFox, and far behind, OpenOffice).
For gaming, consoles are a much better alternative nowadays.
Unless it does something better than XP for sub-notebooks, Windows 7 is entirely irrelevant. Flag this | Edit this post |

| If anything, this isn't true anymore. The performance differential between those CPUs and CPUs of 2 years ago is minimal.
Oh, and you DO lose a fair chunk of the value of a new Mercedes the second you drive it. It becomes instant second-hand. Flag this | Edit this post |

| Comments like that remind me WHY the whole IT industry sucks, from HP down to resellers like yourself.
Always churning out new buggy half-finished stuff, rather than fixing what they already sold, or merely delivering what the customers want. Flag this | Edit this post |

| You don't need Business for RDP. You can use and setup RDP on all Vista versions.
The *only* plus of Business is you can log on automatically on a domain, whereas in other version you have to do it when connecting to shared resources at the password prompt.
Same goes for VPN and the rest, everything is in there, just not in the menus (and no, you don't need to hack or crack, just add the shortcuts manually and you're set). Flag this | Edit this post |

| Well, loos like I'll stay with XP at least until Windows 8.
All the things you listed as Windows7 benefits can be done, and more conveniently so, under XP.
UAC is still useless: how many viruses have hit you with XP in the last years? If you browse the web with FireFox and don't use Outlook, that's a big phat NONE.
UAC is still a solution in search of a problem. Flag this | Edit this post |

| BluRay is betting DVD on *adoption* rate.
ie. it is displacing DVD faster than DVD displaced VHS.
At the current rate, parity should be reached next year, from that point on, DVD will just die a slow death like VHS did. Flag this | Edit this post |
