It's not about swapping and getting used to stuff. It's about performance and usability.

My mom's laptop came with Vista (that was a long time ago, before SP1 when Vista is probably a LOT worse than it's current state). The laptop runs on a Core2Duo 1.66GHz, with 500MB of RAM (which I upgraded that to 1GB some time ago). Vista boots up retardedly slow (like at least twice as slow as XP or more), runs retardedly slow (don't know, it takes ages to even pull up a "My Computer" window), and at that time was also retardedly buggy - mouse clicking on anything in like a rectabgle of about 1/2 the total size in the middle of the screen just didn't work (like WTF?!?). And some programs I used had problems installing on Vista as well. So no, I'm not sticking to XP because I'm "scares of change" or some bullshit like that, it's because, at least at that time, using Vista is just not comfortable.

And again, this was Vista a long time ago, when it was like just out. So it's probably a lot better now. But ever since that time, I've had a very negatie view on Vista. Now I have a way faster computer with way more RAM that can easily handle Vista, but I'm not going to bother switching now, since Windows 7 is soon to come, and is supposedly a lot better.
