I read this interesting article in PC World which narrates the arguments between a mother frustrated with Vista OS and Microsoft's CEO Steve Ballmer at Gartner Inc. conference in Orlando, FL.
Yvonne Genovese, an analyst told Ballmer that her daughter wanted to use gadgets in Vista, so she installed Vista in her daughter's PC (What a grave mistake!!!).
Ballmer said «I love your daughter».
The mother shot back «You're not going to like her mom in about two minutes».
She went back to XP since Vista was bulky, bloated and not easy to implement.
«Let's start with the end user. Your daughter saw a lot of value» said Ballmer.
«She's 13,» Genovese shot back.
Ballmer also said that Vista is bigger than XP, and «for some people
that's an issue, and it's not going to get smaller in any significant
way in SP1. But machines are constantly getting bigger, and [it's]
probably important to remember that as well.»
«Good, I'll let you come in and install it for me» said Genovese.

Good job Genovese. Give Linux a try since XP is also insecure.
