    They are all unsupported operating systems and are a risk to use.

    1. You can't just install whatever OS that you want to, as XP, Vista and 7 all have to be licensed to use them.

    2. The Computer manufacturer would have to support those operating systems being installed on your exact model number and supply the particular operating system drivers for it.

    Windows 7 vs XP vs Vista

    I think windows 7 is what vista SHOULD have been, still waiting for windows 7

    it seems that alot of the suggestions people gave in longhorn were implemented in windows 7 instead of vista, wth
