Vista..piffle. What about XP?

Forget about benchmarking Vista and Windows 7 unless
you want to include the same benchmarks for Windows XP.
Despite what Mr Kingsley-Hughes may personally think is
the "superior" Windows version, the largest installation
base for any windows version is currently XP.

Given the market share for XP, it makes sense to have a
comparison between the next Windows incarnation and the incumbent installation base. I'm a senior I.T. strategist for
a large corporate, and there's not a snow-flake's chance in
hell Vista will ever see the light of day in our offices. I
want to know is Windows 7 going to be "Vista SP??" or is it
a sufficient re-factor to be a worthy replacement to XP? Or
should we be investigating migration to something other
than Windows?

I'm an operating system "agnostic" and look for the best
solution to a given problem, regardless of the operating
system. If Windows is entering the twighlight zone, maybe
I should be looking elsewhere. Of course, Mr Kingsley-
Hughes only has a hammer, so everything looks like a nail.
Enjoy your "Vista experience" Mr Kingsley-Hughes, but the
rest of the world just wants to get the job done
