I have some good friends who always joke with me about my likings for PC (XP - Not Vista). I know the "Mac" system is a reliable/stable platform. Trouble is, I'm sooo used to navigating the windows interface that I find it difficult to give Macs a chance.
I'll bet quite a few other people feel the same!
I know a couple of guys that were so pro PC and they decided to get a Mac and they will never go back to a PC again.
I thought it was coming pretty soon. But the will keep with the patches and updates, I would say at least til 2012. A majority of people are still using xp.
Since they will be releasing a new Service Pack 3 early this summer, I think it will be around for some time.

I was running into to many problems with Vista, and I know I am not the only one.
James! you are sooooo right on that one! my company doesn't even have a vacum cleaner that sucks as much as vista...
I feel stupid when i payed over 100
I have always had good luck with Sony products, I know some people can't stand them.
I just picked up a Dell not to long ago and I might be looking for another one also pretty soon, I might check on the Sony a little closer.
I broke my laptop the day before going overseas. I got a new Sony VIO to replace the broken one. It came with Vista.
I'm switching back to XP as soon as I can!
I just checked my AMEX points and I have almost enough to get a new Macbook. I might be joining the Mac crowd.
I have heard many complaints from that also, that most programs and a lot of printers won't work with Vista.
Also, be on they look out for Service Pack 3 for Windows XP in the next couple of weeks/months.

My wife just started a new project for Disney that will last 8-10 years, and they are outfitting the new trailers, one thing they where asked is what kind of CPU's and operating systems they want is... Everyone in the office said at the same time NOT VISTA. The programs they run will not run on vista.
Yep, I just got a new catalog from Dell and they do offer XP still, doesn't look like it's a extra charge for it either.
Yea they really screwed the pooch on Vista
Yes, you can still get Dell and HP with XP - but you have to request and there may be a charge associated. We won't even push out Vista here at work because of all the issues. bag, bad program. 
It is buggy! I hated it. I certainty won't be going back to it anytime soon. Dell does have some great deals going on now, but I thought you can request to have XP put on them?
I had heard that Vista was buggy. An IT bud of mine explained that Vista runs using ALL of the available RAM; regardless of how much you have or add, it will allocate it for use. Apprently this make for slow operation.
I was wanting to get my daughter a laptop for Christmas and had gotten an email from Dell with some good deals, but they all come with Vista. I am thinkng about a Mac for her but they are more pricy right out of the gate.
