Re: Love that Vista!

Same here. Approximately 200 machines, all running XP for years without any
major problems that didn't involve a hardware failure. All managed by one
guy (me), with very little time actually required to do so. I'm happy with
it.

Of course, I read on this list all the time what a wretched OS it is, and
how it never seems to be working. I suppose we're just lucky.

As far as I am concerned, XP Pro is the best version of Windows that
Micro$oft has produced to date. I have never had a 'blue screen of
death'
on my current XP Pro machines that wasn't related to a hardware
problem...

I have two Dell laptops running XP Pro. 1) A Precision M60, bought in
2003,
which ran for 4 years on the same image of XP Pro, never crashed or
required
reload of the OS. It died of motherboard failure. 2) A Precision M70,
the
replacement for the M60 when the motherboard died (a 'free' replacement
under the Dell Complete Care warranty which was a 300.00 option) has
been
running the same image of XP Pro for over two years now.

I also have 4 other desktop machines that have been running the
original
images of XP Pro for several years without failures other than HD
crashes,
and after using the Acronis images to restore the backup images to new
hard
disks on two of them, they continue to run without failure to this day.

Repeat after me:
I will never use Vista. I will never use Vista. I will never use
Vista...
