Vista advantages

I was testing Vista for one year and at the end I am going back to the XP.

I not interested in appearance. The system should work and I do not care
if it have transparent windows or not. It have to be fast and have all
function I had in former System (Windows XP in my case)

What am I lacking in Vista:

1.No search i context menu
2.No drag and drop to command prompt
3.No folder backup (ntbackup)
4 Eating more than 1GB ram
5 More clicking to get to the same properties



Can any of you tell me why should I stay with Vista? It is your last
chance to convinced me.

You shouldn't. You should check out Ubuntu, a real operating system. You
can get it FREE at http://www.ubuntu.com/

Alias

If you have an older computer, it sounds as if you do as you say you are
going back to XP, you are likely better off doing so on older hardware.

Sooner, or later, the hardware will fail and you are going to have to make a
choice - maybe 2 years down the road. Be prepared.

a. It's not anyone's job here to convince you of anything
b. Vista has no advantages over XP, and many bugs and feature
reductions. Just go install XP and be done with it.

Why would you need that? There's a Search box at the top of the Windows
Explorer window...

Eh? The command prompt is a TEXT based function - how or why would you "drag
and drop" to a TEXT function?

Start-All Programs-Maintenance-Backup and Restore Centre. (At least there is
here on Home Premium)

If your machine only has 1GB RAM then you shouldn't have either bought it
with Vista on, or installed it yourself.

What "more" clicking? Could you be a bit more VAGUE?

Well when you've addresses all your errors above, then maybe.

If you need others to hold your hand on such a decision, you need help
that you can't get here.

Another moron who can't type full words or sentences.

There is no rational reason for anyone to ever use Vista 32 if they have a
satisfactory XP setup.
If Vista is preinstalled on a new computer and is compatible with your
existing software and peripherals there is no great advantage to going back
to XP, although XP will be slightly faster overall, something not noticed
unless you dual boot, unless you have to in order to run specific programs.
Vista 64 on the right hardware, if you have compatible peripheral drivers
and use only compatible programs, is a semi-winner. You get access to an
additional gb of ram for all programs and Vista 64 seems to be less sluggish
than Vista 32. Alas Vista 64 shares all of the numbskull design decisions
built into Vista 32.
Win 7, at least judging by my experience with the public 64 beta, is Vista
with a different GUI. Microsoft promises better performance but driver
incompatibilities prevent many of us from checking out that claim.
