Why? I was on Windows 2000 for ages and just couldn't stand not having some of the XP features like the way folders are shown and such.

Windows 2000 was much more stable, the interface felt much more sharper and responsive, I prefer the way things were set out and I found it much easier to set up and use.

I don't recall there being any folder views that weren't in Windows 2000. There were even icon previews. The only thing that I liked about XP was the image preview window which was light and fast, but there's an equivalent program with Microsoft Office 2003 which solved that problem, too.

The two are equally stable in my opinion.

XP has that "Windows Picture and Fax Viewer", folder thumbnails (if I recall correctly) looked aweful on Windows 2000, when trying to AIM someone a picture, you couldnt get thumbnail view on 2000 last I remembered, and I just like the overall look of XP better than the old 2000.

Hehe, Skyld, don't improperly shut your PC down. ( Unless if you got a recovery disk, or something. :3 )

Anyway, XP > Vista...at least until some decent programs come out for it...other then productivity crap.

Productivity? I find it very hard to be productive when every action I make is assaulted by UAC's Cancel/Allow dialogs.

Grow a brain and disable it.

I still use XP. If the security features have to be disabled for me to do anything, then why bother upgrading?

You only get UAC dialogs when something requires administrative privileges, meaning when you're changing some settings in the control panel, installing new programs, and some isolated instances where a regular program needs admin privileges. You see the most UAC dialogs when you are first setting everything up after installing the OS. I haven't disabled anything and it doesn't get in my way. It's basically sudo with a GUI.
