Why do you say that?

I use HP, now have Vista and cannot think of a single reason why I would want/need to return to XP.

Assuming that 98% of Vista users just want to access the net, whats the problem?

Its so annoying, how do you turn off all the security messages every time you do anything?

To be honest I dont know because I have yet to look. I quite like the messages appearing, gives me a sense of security.

That's crazy,

My computer and my Dad's computer both have Vista and I have never had those problems with it. My Dad asked me to fix his as he kept getting those annoying messages, I thought it was him and went on a senior citizens rant :-D

ooops guess it wasn't something he did

Talk about annoying - I just used Office Vista for the first time the other day - OMFG! What a pile of stupidness! What are MS trying to do? Make everyone more confused than Confuscius?
There isn't even an option for a 'Classic' interface!!!
