  Anything-but-Vista arguments are irrational
Time: 15:52 EST/20:52 GMT | News Source: ComputerWorld | Posted By: Kenneth van Surksum

When it comes to downgrading to XP, my old friend, colleague and fellow Computerworld blogger Steven J. Vaughan-Nichols has come down firmly on the other side of my argument that XP downgrades are just plain dumb. Using Vista instead of XP is dumb, he counters.

Steven, Steven, Steven. I can understand the frustrations of working with Vista for 16 months. But isn't comparing Vista to a Yugo a *slight* exaggeration? I'm old enough to have seen the Yugo. I've driven a Yugo. Vista is no Yugo. Here's a better analogy: Running XP on state of the art PC hardware is like putting a Model T engine in a Ferrari.
