Who nees and want it?

Thats easy. Microsoft nees it and want it to earn money.
There is really no other reason.
When people have spend their money and got one system, there will always
be another one to spend money o

Just another thought here on this matter. If you built or purchased a
machine with hardware specs that had Vista in mind, and then decide to
drop back to XP, the news is good. I built my Athlon 2.6 with 1 G of RAM
last year specifically for Vista, and bought a 256 Meg video card to take
full advantage of Aero. There's a lot I really like about Vista, but
that's just my personal preference. However I had to go back to XP for
one
older piece of software I need to use. Well, oh boy does XP fly on this
machine! Well, it would given the specs. So IF you do have hardware
spec'ed with Vista in mind, XP will fly like never before on it.
Might be worth considering.

Is it possible/practical to go from Vista back to XP? I'd sure like to do
just that! I've heard that one can upgrade but cannot go back. True?

Possible, but not very easy (would be the abbreviated answer)
