Sticking with Windows XP in a Windows Vista World
If you’d like to stick with Windows XP for a while longer, here’s some good news. You don’t need Windows Vista. And as I’ll describe in the next section, there are plenty of excellent solutions out there that will make you forget all about Redmond’s next operating system. At least for a little while.
It’s good to know that Paul understands that there is a fair number of people who will not be immediately jumping ship to Windows Vista.
