Salutations,
Sure, he may think those apps run faster under XP.
But wait until...
He needs up upgrade the hard drive...
and then the memory
He need to re-install the OS in six months
He has a problem and microsoft sends him to AMD and AMD sends him to
Adobe and Adobe sends him to microsoft for help.
Blue Screens abound
The registry corrupts
Someone steals all his Passport information from a Hotmail email (late
breaking news)
His machine gets infected with the virus de jour
He starts paying a yearly update fee for Office...
and then XP
He turns on IIS for a webserver and gets hit with the exploit de jour
He fires up Outlook and gets hit with the virus de jour...
and then the exploit de jour
He'll be back...
And I'll be laughing the entire time.
