If forced to use Windows, I'd take a copy of "old" XP64 -or Windows
2000 for that matter if using an old underpowered system- over the
latest greatest Vista and Win7 fatware, any time.

But I'm not (forced to use Windows) so I just use Fedora. I guess it's
too much to expect that the outgoing administration used their
brains... and besides they were the ones which gave a big gift to MSFT
with that issue of the DOJ-MSFT trial remedies...
