I certainly go along with Keef. (and others who share his puzzlement.) I actually bought Vista with real money - quite a lot of it - 'cos I believed the hype. It slowed the machine down, was buggy / picky, and several of my peripherals didn't work... I bought two bluetooth dongles which claimed to be Vista-ready and even with the latest software never got them to work.
Reverted back to XP. Still had the disks and the sticker, so that was ok.
Messed about with W7 in its various betas on my spare machine (not wanting to be bitten twice) and found it was a busy little o.s. which went off and found its own drivers for most things without me telling it - or even knowing about it at first. Faster than XP, **much** faster than Vista, tho' it still has most of the bells'n'whistles.
But, as Keef says, wotever lights your fire.
