Just because it's pretty, does not mean it's _functional_. (I've seen pretty Yugos...)

This is ridiculous now. Either people need to leave XP behind, because in all honesty Vista is just as functional as XP, or Microsoft needs to realise that some people don't want Vista. Either way this whole "end of XP life" shit is just stupid now. Three days? This is ridiculous now.
