XP SP3 Is Sick Puppy 3, Stupid Patchwork 3, Stupendous Pain-in-the-A__ 3
Blog Worker droid status in the Zombie armies of the Internet is the ultimate fate of all of the 500 to 600 desktop Windows XP computers we use in the oilfield rental fleet. We weren't going to use Vista for damn sure.

Vista Vs XP
Blog Comment When they come in with Vista on them, they go out into the rental fleet with XP Pro. So the XP to Vista ratio is 100%. Yes the deal we have allows us to "downgrade" to XP BUT we have to BUY Vista Business to do it.

Microsoft's Pre-modern Message Puts A New Face On Vista
Blog Comment If I could have gotten that functionality with Vista I wouldn't have minded paying twice as much as XP Pro. I know it is possible to strip Windows XP Pro down to manageable size and make it run faster than it currently does.
