Microsoft, to support, and update XP untill 2014

Also, their is a way for VISTA users, to get a copy of XP for free...

In addition to supporting XP through 2014, Microsoft is now actively promoting a program that allows customers to downgrade Vista systems to XP through a loophole in the company's licensing terms. Microsoft's software license allows customers who purchase a copy of Windows to install and run a previous version of the OS at no additional cost.

Maybe it's just me, but this seems like an official acknowledgement that Vista sucks. I personally have no plans to ditch XP in the foreseeable future. I might have to upgrade to XP64 if the time comes I need more than 4GB but for now I'm avoiding Vista like the plague.

I've learned to live with Vista. I'm afraid that returning to XP is just gonna end up screwing things up further for me.
