Vista shmista - Gimme back XP!

There's an interesting, if brief article on Dell Computers, Microsoft Windows Vista, and Microsoft Windows XP on Techdirt.

Not only is Vista not leading to higher computer sales, but there's a significant subset of consumers that actually would prefer to buy an older version of Windows. This demand has prompted Dell to start selling a few PC models preloaded with Windows XP, which the company had discontinued earlier this year.

...

But with so many complaints about the resource demands of the operating system, and the amount of crapware that it comes bundled with, it's no surprise that many people are happy to go with the old system.

I love that term. "Crapware". That pretty much defines how I feel about Vista after my recent upgrade.
