From what I've used on a family members laptop, I'll stick with my XP pro too. Vista is just awful.

What's even more pitiful is MS ran ads with what appeared to be unemployed bums telling people "wow! this is vista! It's great" It's obvious vista has a bad rap, but then to tell people "hey it's not thaaat bad" on TV....

I've been using Vista since the beta. It's an extremely stable OS, and if you are into home entertainment networking, it can't be beat.

Most of the people who bash it either don't know how to customize to get rid of the features they don't like, are trying to run it on a machine that is not powerful enough for it, or have actually never even tried it themselves and are just parroting what they have heard.

The ONLY problem I have ever had is that it is more difficult to add a network printer that is hosted on an XP machine.

If I was forced to upgrade then yep, I'd spend the time to customize it like I wanted. The one I used was just tough for me to navigate. MS office was extremely tough to find toolbars / buttons etc. Overall, I fear change and decided to pass on it. Until I have to get a new laptop and am forced to learn it.

I think the best way for Sony to fire back would be to add netflix to the PS3...but in the meantime I guess it's a little entertaining to laugh at no sony movies on the xbox...

What's going to be funny is when they work out the licensing agreement and all of the conspiracy theorists that have posted are going to have to eat crow.

Sony's a huge company- they're not going to hold grudges when big business (such as a nice contract with Netflix) is in play. If this is something that will get their movie division profit, expect to see it pull through despite the fact that it could be a bullet point against their gaming division.

lol... honestly you guys crack me up.

Thank God, finally someone reasonable.

I use my PS3 for DVDs and Blu-Rays, my 360 for games, and now Netflix, and my Wii for... well... bowling, I guess. I think the new Netflix addition is really pretty damn cool.

hey..don't you come in here making sense and all that jazz, don't you know we have a reputation to uphold here!

but seriously..its already been debunked, and i posted it in the other thread since this was the repost thread. but its not a conspiracy, as much as the fanboys would like it to be. unless they're just saying that to fool us!
