Dragging this back from the dead...
Anyone who does not want to move to Vista and wants to stick with XP should upgrade their PC components and peripherals sooner rather than later.
MS have moved large chunks of driver code out of the kernel ring to less protected rings - the effect being to make virtually all existing XP device drivers redundant in Vista.
So when new graphics cards, printers, scanners, etc. etc. are being developed and the manfrs have to write drivers for them they are going to keep on developing both XP and Vista drivers? Is MS going to be "helpful" in getting XP drivers developed and certified?
Dream on.
Upgrade to the latest and fastest soon, before it's too late!
Unless you want DRM
