What makes you think you want to go back? When vista first came out there
were some driver issues and some programs wouldn't run, it's been over a

finding programs is simple. You may not be able to run that 9 year old
piece

per se, it's a good OS, but it's biggest crime is just being underwhelming

moved functionality, but as with any new design, you get used to it over
Frankly, unless you *have* to have XP, it's not worth the trouble to
downgrade.
Even Tom agrees with that.
