Jayanand,

I have a machine running vista. I perceive Vista as being a largely 
un-necessary 
  modification of a series of tools, eg Word, Excel etc and related 
technologies 
to fit a "new look", largely a marketing exercise in other words.

I like my XP machines and find them stable, the interface readily usable and 
the 
system as a whole workable. Asd with all stuff from MS you can see where the 
code gets clunky/poorly designed, where interfaces are poorly designed and 
where 
they have tried to be too smart for their own good.
