Goodbye Vista

I've had it. I give up. Reinstalled XP the other day and couldn't be happier. I did, however give me an excellent chance to compare the two operating systems. Compared to Vista, XP just snaps those windows into place when I run a program. For general speed, there's no beating it. Oddly enough, there was one thing at which Vista has a serious advantage and that's Winamp (and media player). In Vista, Winamp 5 seemed much more responsive, where in XP it can ignore your clicks for a second or two on occaision for whatever odd reason.
