I do understand what you are saying. I don't think I ever said those exact words. What I said was that any machine that will run Vista will run XP faster and better. The numbers don't lie. If you will look up benchmarks of XP SP3 vs Vista SP1 you will see what I mean. The problems that I and many others have had with Vista are very real and proven facts, not something I just made up.

His exact words were I was given a point and a warning for "continuously giving bad advice"

How me recommending a faster (proven) more stable (proven) OS is giving bad advice, I'll never know. So I can only assume that because I cannot be proven wrong he'll just threaten me a little bit so I'll shut up.
