Windows XP SP3 Installed
Blog Overall I am very happy with the S6510 running XP since my latest retreat from Vista last week. Moreover, they have not only held back XP SP3, they have also stopped Vista SP1 from Automatic Download (again) for the same reason.

Status Update, Vista To XP Retreat (Advance?)
Blog Comment Look at how many people, and business, are still running Windows 2000, and there were compelling reasons and advantages in upgrading to XP; without any such obvious advantages in upgrading to Vista, the percentage who "stay behind" is likely to be...

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.

Linksys WRT350N Wireless-N Gigabit Router With Storage Link
Blog It is worth noting that while Windows Vista has WPA2 security included, it has not yet been made a standard part of Windows XP. I suppose that this might become standard with Windows XP SP3, but I don't know that for sure.

Marketing Mush
Blog I was a little dismayed to see that they think the best way to use Windows (any version back to and including XP) is to have the system come up from "sleep" mode. Currently DebbieToo (a Celeron) and SugarBear (a P3) both boot up faster than Windows...

Ya Need XP Service Pack 3? Yeah Buddy. I Got Ya Servicepack3 Right Here!

Microsoft's Mojave Just A Desert Vista
Blog Comment Microsoft studies have shown that Windows Vista users are 60% less likely to be infected by malware than users running Windows XP SP2. I don't meant to nit-pick but considering that Service pack 2 for XP was released just over 4 years ago, I wonder...

Spoke Too Soon About XP SP3?
Blog Comment Incidentally, I only installed XP Pro SP2 on 23rd December as a downgrade from Vista Home Premium. I tried to install XP SP3 RC2 today. I already had XP SP3 RC1 installed, so I followed MS instructions to remove it first.

... But Still A Few Things Amiss (with Vista)
Blog Comment All this giving 'Vista another chance' was great when I didn't have a system already set up which does everything I want it to, but wasting hours reconfiguring an installation only to find out there isn't a driver or something is less robust than...

Gartner: Ignore Vista Until 2008
Talkback I do agree with your main point, though; Vista isn't a super-patched version of XP. XP is NT 5.1, 2003 is NT 5.2, and Vista is NT 6.0. People who think it's just XP SP3 or XP with a new face are quite wrong.
