Consumer Group Demands XP for Vista Victims

thefickler writes "Dissatisfaction with Windows Vista seems to be swelling, with the Dutch Consumers' Union (Consumentenbond) asking Microsoft to supply unhappy Vista users with a free copy of Windows XP. Not surprisingly, Microsoft refused. This prompted Consumentenbond to advise consumers to ask for XP, rather than Vista, when buying a new computer."

    And thus the slashdot groupthink votes this up.

    At the time of this writing it's modded down. In fact, many anti-Vista posts in this thread are modded down, which is pretty odd on Slashdot. I thought this place was a stronghold of anti-Microsoft and anti-Windows people. In any case, modding down completely reasonable posts that are anti-Vista is just fucking retarded.
