Windows XP V windows 7

XP is the best shit M$ have came out with. It had radical color and anybody who disliked that obviously don't have an eye for design.
7 - a horrible fucking UI, First why is folder options under the view/arrange icons by menu, Second why is control panel such a mess of text links and shit, and why cant we simply open the network connections folder and view the icons for each connection.

XP pros:
* It's both simple looking and advanced functionality wise, it looks like a teletubby but its really darth vader
* Has 'legacy' technologies that can be useful in today's world
* Allows a domain or workgroup to be typed not just selected from a list like windows 7
* Layout and design is almost perfect.
* Has lots of functionality
* Luna and bliss.jpg 
* No longer is targeted much by hackers or viruses (despite all the stupid end of support hype)
*B0 Is surprisingly compatible with programs and features such as networking services (see B1
*B1 Some built in programs from windows server 2003 work on XP (M$ don't want you to know that)
* Doesn't bug you to authenticate a fucking password for like EVERYTHING
* Is super customizable
*A0 it can host a FTP web and email server using IIS.
*A1 it can technically be a Terminal Server (see A2)
*A2 it can host roaming profile
* Easy to navigate in
* Supports USB 2.0, sata 2, fire-wire, dvd, .zip, virtual storage device images (not ISO tho), it can run MS ramdisk utility.
* Not that slow actually but programs can stop responding in fairness.
* Easily hackable - more functionality/customization but less security
* Has a kick ass CLI tool-set (gpedit, regedit, ieshwiz, sysdm, control, rundll32, TSS, edit, DEBUG, runas, at/schtasks

windows 7 pros
* Is more Secure from viruses and hacking
* less buggy
* supports .ISO images
* less bloated
* it isn't like vista except the theme+design is just as bad
* it has some useful customize options I wish XP had such as the ability to show/hide 'my videos' from the start menu.
* it has the tablet PC support pack already built in

windows XP cons
*buggy
*programs can crash at times or stop responding till doomsday
*can be extremely goofy
*uninstalling IE in the components manager completely screws the whole OS up. Nice job btw there M$ you fat greasy shits.
*bloated with legacy icons and dialog boxes, hotfixes, patches, service packs, and unimplemented features.
*lack of 16 or 64 bit driver or program support.
* HKLM\software\microsoft\windows\

7 cons
* pestering - user authentication for running some command line, deleting some types of files etc etc etc.
* cant find a fuckin thing, where is the fucking explorer menu bar 
* looks ugly
* isnt as hackable or modifiable as XP
* still cant find a thing.
* ran by ballmer baldy head
*its harder to crack the stupid buggy product registration
