While I can personally attest for the gains Microsoft made when it comes to Windows Vista's performance between its release-to-manufacture November 2006 and now, there is no denying the fact that Vista simply isn't made for running on lower-specced computers. In addition, while Vista brings interesting new features and massive overhauls of many subsystems, a lot of people simply don't like it. Sadly for them, Windows XP is going out-of-sale 30 June. However, there are plenty of loopholes - PC World listed them.

I dont like suggesting this method, but it would be silly for me to not admit that it does happen.
Three Steps to XP Bliss.
1 > Visit Torrent / Warez site. Pick your perfect Customized version of XP (Like Black, Mac XP, etc...)
2 > Download said sub-700Mb Iso.
3 > Burn, install, and disable Windows Update.
Profit!!!
There are plenty of people doing this, I personally have seen places that even have gone so far as to even have SP3 integrated in to the ISO.
Not that I am Telling people to do this, I am just saying that there is almost no way for Microsoft to stop people from getting XP.
