I've had macs for 15 years brother. Number of viruses = 0.

My current iMac, number of crashes/freezes = 0.

...and they look good,like their owners. :D

Why would anyone on their right mind want to downgrade an OS? Bizarre.

NO its not, i am a professional and i've done some research on VISTA and i've decided not to upgrade... i will hop to Windows 7 eventually. Did you know that DELL (and others) actually made Microsoft extend its XP support to 2014?!

XP 64 Bit its an incredible improvement from Microsoft... its based on Windows Server 2003, it handles a lot of ram and its very stable. It doesn't have any eye candy nor any idiotic functions for idiots... i am not an idiots so i don't need VISTA.
