Wanting to downgrade to XP

[Roadkill]

I really don't know if I should or not but do you think I should downgrade to XP? I am getting pretty tired of Vista. I will back up all of my shizzle on a separate hard drive so that won't be a problem.

What do you think?

The only benefit I can see from Vista at the moment is visuals and DX10.

XP doesn't really have good support to new generation games.

XP doesn't really have good support to new generation games.

What do you mean by support?

[Wash]

New-ish games require DirectX 10. XP is not compatible with DirectX 10.

Install Windows 7

XP is the way to go, I can't name any games that I know of that need DX10.
I know there are some, but I couldn't name any off the top of my head.

 iwould do windows 7 cuz i read on google that its faster than xp and has better support, i would do 7

Well I've looked on Google and found multiple game benchmark tests run on XP and Vista, XP had a much higher framerate.

Well i was checking youtube and google and people had higher fps on windows 7 then XP, well do whatever you like

Windows 7 rocks, my PC works like a dream with Windows 7

Even if there are games that say you can only use DirectX 10, you can just fool it by changing your version number and it works fine.

I just installed XP, the performance difference is immense.

Now to install everything else.
