Hey!, hey!, don't make XP die, it'll eventually die out of old age in 2009 :roll:

It won't die in 2009, Some places in the world still use Windows 95, 98, and a freind of mine in europe still uses ME.:ohwell:

it looks like from the poll results that either people have vista working now or they are waiting 6-12 months. nothing in between.
