Olympic Committee Chooses XP Over Vista

Posted by samzenpus on from the if-it's-not-as-broken dept.

Vinit writes "The popularity of Windows XP is still making things difficult for Vista. Now Vista has again suffered a major setback, with Lenovo (Olympic 2008' official sponsor) installing XP on it's machines to run the Olympic Games' vital PC-related tasks. Vista will only be used in internet lounges set up for athletes to use during the games."

    Isn't training for the Olympics hard enough? Couldn't they be given a "better" O/S?
