Very amusing post by Ed Bott over at ZDNet.com on the similar reaction XP got to Vista when it was launched seven years ago.

For the record, having been a fan of Windows 2000, I took to Windows XP as soon as I installed the Beta, and that was on a computer with just 128MB of RAM (my requests for more were turned down!). Given the alternative was Windows 98 in the office I never looked back

For my evidence that Vista has not fostered the enthusiasm that greeted Windows XP, I look at the number of manufacturers that still offer Windows XP.

Still it's good to see human nature stays the same
