Why change from XP ever ?

Microsoft has forbidden vendors from writing XP drivers for their
products. Apparently that is in their contract with computer component
suppliers.

I seriously doubt MS has the power to do that.
I have designed cards for in the PC, who will stop me
from writing an XP driver?
And with Intel moving away from Vista, sure Intel will want to sell
their chips.
If more people use XP then Vista they will provide XP drivers, no
matter what.
MS is just a con that charges big money for a 1$ DVD copy of bad
software,
they have no other power then that of money.
Anyways, even if MS sues and succeeds then they will go Unix.
The Asus eeePC, running Linux on Intel, already is such a big success
that it makes up 30% of Asus sales.
People want performance, not bloat.
Sign on the wall.
