Windows 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.

That, or they'd throw it out, and pay roughly $3000 for a relatively future-proof machine


You have to be kidding me. A 600$ machine will run vista like a dream. 3,000 and you are talking about 9600 GTX cards and RAID 0 Solid State drives
