Comment XP is too great (Score 1) 674
So, why switch? The only thing that bothered me about XP was the recent fiasco involving popup messages on the desktop saying that my copy of Windows was not authentic (when it really was). So, taking that as a sign of things to come, I decided to avoid Vista, which I think was still called Longhorn at the time.
In addition, I hate DRM and all DRM-supporting platforms. That's it.
