Windows XP is superior in terms of stability and safety. Microsoft is already working on a new Operating System to replace Vista as it is - within the next two years, so that should tell you quite a bit about what even the people who made Vista think about it. Side: windows xp

Windows in general sucks because it attracts so many computer viruses and anti-viruses don't do shit because they become so full that it is literally impossible to even open them anymore because your desktop is so spammed up. But I'd have to say XP is better only because I haven't used Vista ever and never plan too and at least on XP you can run a separate operating system on the hardrive along with the actual XP operating system.

"Windows in general sucks because it attracts so many computer viruses and anti-viruses don't do shit because they become so full that it is literally impossible to even open them anymore because your desktop is so spammed up." Stop looking at pornography. That simple act solves 98% of virus and spam related computer problems. And if you're not looking at porn... cough ... use an internet condom. Side: windows vista
It's not the stupid people who use it that attract the viruses, it's the company's fault for not looking far enough ahead to develope a PC that can be used to the FULLEST extent without crashing and burning a year later. I had used windows xp before, and nothing had ever happened to it, but then again I was only using it to search up info for school, but as soon as I started finding out what you can actually do on a PC, the viruses started coming and never stopped. And mind you, it's not because of porn, I didn't even know what that was when I had my XP. But I wasn't able to do anything at all without attracting another virus. Even logging onto google took half an hour (i'm exaggerating but you get my point). Once you have a virus, it is really hard to get rid of it completely. Which is why windows sucks, because when you get one virus, the rest seem to find your harddrive and just attack it like wild beasts, whereas more EFFICIENT operating systems like linux (and mac is somewhat efficient) that have so many ways to use the computer that even if you manage to catch a virus, it will basically be lost and won't know what to do with itself and just expire and fade away so-to-say. But with linux, as far as my knowledge goes, it is next to impossible to get a virus on linux operating systems. Side: Windows Is a Virus Magnet
Not true, I use Vista with WOW all the time, no problems. You guys are just jumping to conclusions again. I just copied and pasted what I post in other debate, this is the 3rd same vista vs XP one that you guys are discussing. I have nothing against XP, I have actually another PC running XP and is very reliable, however, with the new hardware and technology coming up, vista will be the one who will be able to cope with the new specifications. Windows 7 is windows vista with improvements and XP is being abandoned, so all of us will have to sit and use "vista" anyway with the new PCs. Most don't like Vista are users or programmers who still like to run 16-bit legacy software and a lot of them want to keep, I bet in floppy disks :D. Vista don't like pesky old sofware that can compromising stability and that's why it not allowing those programs to run. That is why vista is more resilience with spyware. XP is very tolerant and that is why people like it. I hope people who want to stick with XP won't end like those windows 98 SE users out there who didn't want XP still making unofficial service packs for 98. http://www.softpedia.com/get/System/ OS-Enhancements/ Unofficial-Windows-SE-Service-Pack.shtml I was a windows 98 user also and I loved it, and windows 2000 was awesome for me, I still have all the CDs and I could build a PC with them but nah I really don't want to stay behind. If you still want to keep XP (and 98) run them in different partitions as "guests" with windows 7, hopefully windows 7 won't complain about it :P Side: windows vista

I REALLLY didn't like vista at first and was seriously considering downgrading my pc back to xp just because i was used to it. but then again i did want to downgrade at first when xp first came out so i decided i should give it a chance. i like the fact that vista is hella easier to navigate when you're looking for files and stuff, but i don't like the fact that you can't hack vista whatsoever or that they use such thing as a .docx which doesn't not work on any other computer. you actually have to take the time to switch settings when you try and save it. Side: windows vista
Well Ihave Vsita myslef and never had XP. Went right from 98 to vsita so I would ahve to say vsita since the only time I used XP was on a computer that had so much crap o nit it was slow. Mine has lots of progrmas but is still as fast as can be. hackers can hack into any OS though,give them a chance they will figure it out. Side: Vsita
Maybe I'm the exception to the rule, but Vista has been much more reliable for me than XP ever was. I work on an laptop running XP at work, it crashes at least twice a month running Access, not the most power hungry of applications. For most people the issue is older drivers, or non-compliant hardware. At least that's the way I understand it. Side: windows vista
