And the unstable crap that it had. And you had to restart XP Pro every day or two to make it run without problems or/and not to have slow speeds. And the firewall + shitty ass protection it has against hackers and viruses (specifcally, viruses). And the crappy shortcuts it had (unlike Vista/7's favorites). And and and ....

You're comparing an 8 year old OS to an yet-to-be-released OS?

I've merely added on XP Pro. And yes. I am going to compare it to Vista and Windows 7. XP Pro served it's purposes. My brother had enough of Windows XP Pro and moved on to Windows 7 two nights ago. Crashes, slow, always needs to restart and had enough bugs with it. Been running Vista for a year and 8 months with not a single problem (stability) on a single legit version. Unlike XP Pro ... the nightmares, the nightmares ...

You also have to take into account that this computer is around 6/7 years old. I have currently had a stable installation of 6 months. I will keep this running XP till I get my Mobo threw the RMA process and then I will be backing all the stuff up on this computer and switching this box over to Linux. But the plans are subject to change at any moment since I have other ideas of stuff to do. Even though I went threw a lot of problems I will say I have had much better luck with stably running XP Pro then I did with Vista Ultimate and Bussiness and Home Media (I believe that was what my sister had). Though I haven't really ran Vista since about at latest nine months from release.

What version of win 7 are you using? Beta has many stability issues with my laptop. RC served me well. Once or twice it froze on the browser, (Though I suspected it was a memory leak issue gone too far on Firefox) but overall, only 1 BSOD total after the updates in RC. And that BSOD was just before the thing did some funny shit and fuxxored up. (I had to bring the thing in a few days ago)

I always assumed 2 things to be the issue in windows 7 for my laptop.

#1: I use a sony Vaio SZ480. This means this model line has "turbo cache". (Dual graphics chips) Windows is confuzzled.
#2: Heat. Though I don't see 70-80 celcius as bad... I guess windows does... BSOD TO SAVE THE MOTHER-BOARDZ!~
