Ahhh, a "lost in translation" issue =D

It means I am VERY unhappy with Vista (as are anyone else who says a certain something "sucks" or "blows" - actually, the wording hints that the product itself is bad - but typically, people use it to express their personal opinion of a product or service or whatever - and that their opinion is negative). 

I am aware that it (XP) will be obsolete in a few more years, but until then, I intend to use it - and probably even after they stop "patching" it like they finally did with 98.  It was another 2 years before I was dragged, kicking & screaming mind you, to XP.

I'm not one who enjoys upgrading my OS (obviously - i STILL think Windows 3.X was great).  If its stable, and if they're still patching security issues, WHY go with a newer more unstable version? 

When I chose XP 64 Pro, it was with my brother (computer tech guru).  He and I discussed the good and the bad of both XP and Vista.  In my own opinion, the extra cost was NOT worth the extra headaches I knew I would get trying to get things working on what I consider an "alien" operating system. 

My only current issue really with XP 64 is the fact that it seems to REFUSE to do any kind of handwriting recognition with my Wacom tablet.  In other words - I can't use my Wacom tablet as a notebook & pen. =D  Not sure if its a 64 bit thing, or just me not knowing what the heck I'm supposed to do (and can't read/comprehend the technical stuff in the not-so-helpful help files & online "help")

now... my other programs, on the other hand... i do like to upgrade more often.

Does that help?  =D

XP versus Vista is like Mac versus Windows at times ;)

Rarer than a hairy egg and madder than a box of frogs....
