I used to tell everyone that Xp sucked, that it took too much Ram, that it was slow and had compatibility issues. I told people they should get win98 SE. My belief change after about two years, XP is now way better than 98 in my opinion.
I'm not making the same mistake with Vista. Give it time.
I've had no problems with Vista. The only thing that's wrong - is that there are no drivers for my webcam But then that's the webcam company's fault - not Microsoft's.
I'm on Intel Quad Core q6600 @ 3.12 Ghz with 4GB RAM, 19" Dual LCD Screens etc etc. (+ watercooling.. lol). I thought I was in for a nightmare trying to find drivers for all my hardware and peripherals. On the contrary, it was simple.
I'd promote that anyone move on to Vista based on my experience with it Just have a fairly powerful machine ready and an hour or so of finding drivers
Windows XP and 2000 "sucked" back then because everyone used Windows 9x and ME back then.
Windows has 2 lines of products actually.
The first line is the MS DOS based - Windows 1-3, Windows 95, Windows 98 and Windows ME
The second line the the NT based - windows NT 3.1, Windows NT 3.5, Windows NT 4, Windows NT 5/2000 Windows NT 5.1 / XP Windows NT 5.2 / 2003 Server and Windows NT 6 / Vista.
Windows 2000/XP wasn't a newer version of the OS that were used back then, but a whole new OS with another kernel which is partly compatible with the MS DOS programs.
Windows Vista IS a newer (but not better) version of Windows NT 5.X OS and can not be compared to the case of XP and 9x.
@Everyone who blames Vista for ripping Mac
The blunt truth to this "fact" of yours, is the fact that it's completely bogus. How the hell does anyone expect anyone to evolve an operating system based on what people want without "stealing" idea's from other operating systems. 9x out of 10, the features people request for new operating systems, come from other operating systems.
Microsoft's goal with Vista, was to pull people away from Mac, not because Microsoft felt weak or clever, but because it was their competition. If you use Mac, and there are a specific features on a Mac that keep Mac users using a Mac, then Microsoft needs to get those features from Mac and put them into Windows! You can't pull stubborn users away, unless you give them what they want, and god forbid that should be frowned upon.

I don't know if that's aimed at XP or OSX users since I've seen stubbornness (though stubbornness without reason seems to be rampant among Windows users) on both sides.
Vista tries to emulate OSX a little too much. Of course there's progress, but to rip OSX Aqua? I'm glad Apple have more or less said "Take our 6 year old design" and brought out a new design theme for Leopard. Seeing all the big Mac forums - even the most level headed and unbiased of members don't see what these Mac features are that are present in Vista. Least not the useful ones, unless you count security. Which comes at a very high price on Vista.
On the Mac side they bring people over with Bootcamp or Parallels (which I find excellent for testing the waters with other OS's, like Linux and friends), basically letting a Apple computer basically run, well, anything along with the features present in OSX than Windows doesn't have (yet).
Sorry Axel, partly true though. If I mention "OSX rocks" here I'm met with an angry mob, say it in a Mac forum and you get other people damning applications for not being on OSX and still using and enjoying XP all the same. I know it doesn't encompass everyone. But there's always a few I can remember that thread a while ago talking about MMF on the Mac... there was a lot of angry teens.
Clickteam announced the MMF2 will be ported to Linux sooner or later.
Since both Linux and Mac OS X are Unix-like porting the Linux version of MMF2 to the Mac wouldn't be that hard for Clickteam.
Also, KNP for Mac was available too.
