From the page: "So, here's the deal. As I type this article on my laptop, my desktop machine is in the process of downloading all the updates for Windows XP. Yes, Windows XP. I am in the process of downgrading (or should I say upgrading) to Windows XP on my primary desktop. Now, in my case, this computer had two hard drives in it. So, I am keeping Vista intact while I am installing XP back to the second drive. If I need Vista for some reason, it's there. I don't like burning bridges....When a new Windows version hits the market, you can't force people to use it when it just isn't ready. Microsoft knows it wasn't ready, too. The sheer size and speed of the SP1 service pack for Vista tells me that Microsoft knew it was faulty and is now trying to correct course mid-stream. So, essentially, the appearance is that Vista pushed this thing to market early. Not in the interest of their customer, but in the interest of their bottom line. Vista is a great OS - for a BETA. And thats what it is. If you think of it like a beta, you'll be happy. If you expect it to work exactly like XP, but better, you will be disappointed. Windows XP wasn't exactly solid either until after the second service pack. My guess is that, eventually, Vista will be in the position XP is in now. It will be tried and true and it will just work. But, it isn't there yet. And since I need something that just works, I have decided to throw XP back onto my desktop."
