Don't know how much it's originally from microsoft. There in that video http://youtube.com/watch?v=V-EqLgSkegU&mode=related&search= is taken the voice of microsoft Vista presentation and visually is shown mac os X and they mach pretty well. Very Happy

The first windows I have used was 3.11 and the last one I used was windows 2000 SP 2 ...yet I have once also installed some earlier windows into a old 286 computer.. i think it was 1.x something, but it was kinda useless thing to me..

Hardi, I know you are using a system named Linxus, and I also know you don't know Microsoft that much Very Happy

But since you have never used XP, why don't you just try it once? it really works well, very convenient and fast.

what is Linxus? Newer heard about such thing. I use Linux.. Arch Linux, to be exact. I know without trying that windows is not stable and secure as linux. If I tell you that in this 2 year period, that I have used linux. there haven't never happend, that a blue screen appear to ask me to make restart and there haven't a single virus attacked me even though i don't have antivirus software installed. As xp user could you believe that such thing is even possible?

It's true that on xp everything work in out of the box. sametime when on Linux is often troublesome to get some type of hardware properly work, but last times even that happen rare.. and even with all those flaws. the security, flexibility and convenience still beat xp so many times Very Happy

Anyway if i should choose betwen vista and xp I would choose xp.. but since I have there a very wide variety of different linux distributions I don't need to look into that direction.

Actually it is linux. It is a free software. It is like windows but you can get it without paying.
