This week, Dell announced it will offer systems with the aging Windows XP for a surcharge of US$150 over the newer Windows Vista–this only five months after it stopped offering XP on its Inspiron consumer desktop and laptop PCs.
The deadline for Windows XP downgrades has been pushed back twice now, remaining in effect until July 31, 2009-a strong indication that enough users want to stay with the aging XP rather than give Vista a chance.
Though market share for Windows XP dropped nearly 10 percent in 2008 as Vista slowly made gains, XP still has a market share of 66 percent, according to Web metrics company Net Applications.

I use vista, but its themed, UAC is off, and I only really use it cause it came with my laptop.. go figure.
i have vista on both my laptop and desktop, but i think im going to dual boot and have both vista and xp on my desktop comp, i have also turned UAC off.
i use vista. really i never took notice of what UAC does. or is it the annoying thing that asks for permission for everything you do? if it is i can live with it and it runs faster than my 64bit xp. now am using 64bit vista ultimate runs great
vista works great providing you have good enough hardware, dell put vista on comps with 1gb RAM so of course its not gonna run nice, ive been using it on all my comps since the early betas in 2006, only ever had issues with nvidia gfx cards due to their drivers, windows 7 on the other had works brilliant with everything, cant wait for the retail versions of it
