So for anybody that hates the very thought of Vista, be comforted by the fact that XP will only be faster once this patch is in place.

No way that I would load the patch on MY PCs until at least a month has gone by after its release to John Q. Public, as problems are bound to occur, so if you have any news or info to relate to the topic, feel free to post something, or even your thoughts on XP SP3.

I think that when I install my new MB I am going to stop dual booting and just install XP Pro. Unless ofr some reason I am forced to.

Thanks for the linkage WT.

YIKES!!! Better buy XP now, and maybe get an extra copy !!!

Microsoft has at times struggled to wean users from the six-year-old Windows XP and get them to migrate to Vista. During 2007, for example, it made several XP concessions, including adding five years to the support lifespan of the Home edition and extending OEM and retail sales of XP through June 2008, as it recognized that customers wanted to hold on to the older OS.
