me switching to linux (OPENsuse)

Stick with XP & also have started using linux.

I start using Ubuntu near about 2.5 months...and now I use Linux for all time...same machine contain XP and Vista Ultimate (RTM)[Triple Boot]...but I forget when I last login those two.

One thing I missed that my Nokia S60 3rd Edition phone(Nokia PC Suite) in Linux.

i think i switched to VISTA on feb 2nd means the final one... but i am using VISTA from its beta phase .. beta 1,2 RC1,2 and RTm and now the Retail (final) .. so i dont have XP now .. i am happy with VIsta and Office 2007 ultimate (both)

xp+linux+vista

i will also dual boot with xp and OPENsuse.
but i will dump xp when i learn linux (i am a newbie to linux now)

Stick with XP and switch to Vista. I use both

ok
everyone has his/her choices
but lets see what majority thinks

I also want to shift to vista...but money probelm.I will have to wait for few more months,as i am investing all my pocket money on my forum.

I need RAM

unless i get a overhol of my system... i am sticking with Windows XP

i have started using open suse 10.2, dual boot with xp. will dump xp once i am comfortable.

sounds familier doesn't it.

ya gautam.
i have same thoughts a you.

xp+opensuse

nuthin. either staying with xp or moving to FC-6(already downloaded isos. remains to burn+install)

Migrated to linux long back. Tried Vista to see how it is. Nice improvement but doesn't give me the flexibility I love linux for.
And yeah MS should really dump that UAC for something different. It's so irritating that people will eventually switch it off, so it's final effect will be nullified.

Gaming - XP

Resource Wasting - Vista

Stay with XP wait for Vista SP4 i think til then either XP or Linux

Ok but 15GB is still high requirement..

What, switch already?

I just bought a WinXP license in January 2007.

ya. xp needs about only 1.5 GB.
but vista needs 10 times that of xp

I bought XP now because its only now that it has become buyable. As for Vista I will never buy it coz by the next World Cup, ReactOS would have matured enough to suit my needs.

Since Vista has some compatibility issues, I am planning to stick with
Windows XP

and would consider changing to Vista once Service Pack 1 is ready

The fourth option should be similar to the third option, i.e. 'Switch to Mac/I already use Mac'. And it is spelled 'Mac', not 'MAC'.

Sorry for spelling Mac as MAC.

Yeah, OK. Many people seem to make this mistake.

See ur avtar its MAC there

I am using vista as primary operating system with xp as um..backup

^^Only XP dont have too much resources for Vista

That's because it is wholly in capital letters.

Vitsa is lying in my hdd (separate 80 gb ) . Got couple of cobwebs. One thing i noticed it MS has made it less configurable .. like the boot.ini is not editable. So XP is default boot. Vista is rotting till i find another linux distro ..Major problem with both : no software support. And eye candy ? are you kiddin me .. Mac/Linux are better off..and i dare say even XP

So its Xp + Office 2007 (final) MS's Best invention till date

as of now my comp config prevents me to shift over so i'll stay wid xp...when i get a new comp i'll surely upgrade...

when you get a new comp get one pre loaded with vista.. no point spending 7k+ again on vista ..

A

stick to xp till it exitsts, as its good for emergencies of crash and for playing games and for rest long back shifted to linux.

I am sorry but I would beg to differ here. Vista is, IMHO, the best looking operating system in the market at present. It has got beautiful, huge icons and a nice glossy, shiny interface. Makes you feel that the whole thing is fragile and polished. Mac OS X seems a bit outdated when it comes to looks compared to Vista (though that may be because I am more used to it and Vista is new). However, Vista could do with better animations and a little anti-alaising throughout the system.
And you actually think that XP looked better than Vista!!! What is this, some sort of reverse psychology!

:: Scampers off to wash his sins on making this post in the holy grail of Macdom! ::

Shiny glossy big icons .. all possible in all most every disro of linux ( see openSuse ) . And when i ment Xp , i ment you could mod it too look as good as vista ..but then i am not too fond of it , i stick to classic

Is it really? I have never seen 256x256 icons on any other operating system. Could you show me a screenshot or two of some Linux distro having it?

And you said XP's eye candy is better than Vista and now you are saying that XP can be modified to look as good as Vista. A bit of a contradiction there, isn't it?
