Windows XP's days have been numbered for a long time now. A long, long time. Just when it seemed like the end was in sight for Microsoft (NSDQ: MSFT)'s flagship OS, it's had its lifespan granted one extension after another -- [Front page...]

Well, as everyone here knows what I think of XP PRO & that its performance is very good, I now prefer Windows 7 Ultimate as my everyday OS!
It has all the eyecandy of Vista with the performance & resource usage of XP.
I'm never going back to XP now that I've been using W7U.
Not to mention there's no DX10 on XP like there is with W7U!
I get very good FPS gaming on W7 & the gameplay is very smooth....

BUT, I will always keep my copy of XP PRO SP3 around just in case...

As far as my copy of Vista Ultimate SP1...Pffff!!! Its basically garbage in my book!
I might just frizzbee it... LOL
