Ok I have both xp pro (sp3) and vista 64bit (sp1) installed on my system. I haven't used xp in several months now and that was only to use a program that doesn't work on vista yet. After using vista on a regular basis xp just seems slow and inefficient to use, I also have a performance increase in most programs I use (they're available in 64 bit) so why would I want to 'upgrade' to xp.
Anybody who just gives it a couple of days use will not see any benefit as Vista is still learning your habits, the underlying basis of the os is different to xp and this takes a little bit of getting used to especially if you're not clued up with everything before hand.
Now I admit that vista could do with a bit of a nip and tuck around the edges, it is a tad bloated and 64bit codec support could be better (still end up using the 32bit player) but I wouldn't go out of my way to uninstall it because of them. The biggest nuisance for most is the default defrag/spyware settings and UAC which is easily sorted by using Tweak UAC.
Hopefully Windows 7 will be vista after the nip and tuck, and if I'm really lucky only in 64bit flavours.
However if people still wish to use xp then thats their choice, I'm not going to stop them.
