I find XP far superior to Vista.

All they seem to have done with Vista is change a few things around which just makes things awkward.

They did that when they moved from Windows 2000 to Windows XP. They decided to hide all the important bits and make them harder to get to.

Do you know if you can still set it up in classic mode so it looks like Windows 2000?

I have just spent 4 years getting to know XP which I love and now I am looking to get a lap top and they all have Vista, which I'm sure is very good but I can do without all the hassle of getting to know it right now. So do I have to buy xp separately.Someone told me that it's about £60 ??

XP will stop being supported in 2009, so you might as well bite the bullet.

Not sure what I can do about my desktop as it is 5 years old and probably on it's way out

I've got a MacBook, which has the new 'Leopard' system on it. I prefer Mac to Windows.

Can someone tell me the most recent version of windows before Vista?

As im not sure Vista is worth the money, and ive received a new computer that definitely needs an upgraded windows.

Or alternatively, what's a recommended price to pay for a standard version of vista?
