Why I downgraded from Vista to XP
,----[ Quote ]
| To me it seems the only way to fix such errors is to restore to the
| previous safe point which i don't have any. There is no known way to
| fix a corrupted windows media player except to reinstall (we all
| know this and this is the recommended way to fix corrupted windows
| components - even the error log says so), but the same won't be
| applicable in my case.

| Until a workaround is found I will not revert back to Vista again.

John Carmack on the State of the Game

| When asked about DirectX10 and Windows Vista, Carmack's reaction
| was lukewarm. He said there was no reason for gamers to rush to
| purchase DirectX10 cards or Vista, saying that "nothing is going
| to help a new game by going to a new operating system. There were
| some clear wins going from Windows 95 to Windows XP for games, but
| there really aren't any for Vista."
