Who cares what is in it, it will be better than Vista.

We don't want XP SP3 to have anything from Vista as that would be the death knell of XP.

Vista only has four good things about it. None of which bring it close to being anything other than sh*te.

1. Power management, it actually sleeps instead of kills itself and hangs.

2. Side bar - well I just like it as I can useful things there instead of having to run things.

3. Network setup didn't use a wizard, it actuallly just worked and found my router.

4. The most important for obvious reasons is the recovery tool bundled onto the DVD which is never shipped to you by a supplier which I think should be illegal as you paid vast amounts for it anyway.

So be happy at only having a couple of features that have been around a while. XP SP3 is the death knell for Vista as only the foolish will upgrade before the next release of windows.

Yes M$ own you but what did you expect when you bought that PC from people that believe blackmail and bully tactics are normal business practices?
