I used Avast before. It is ok, but it had problems deleting really difficult malwares that AVG had no problem getting rid of. Quite simple, AVG is better period!

Avast also struggles with false positives at times. You would probably not experience problems on Vista, since all you want it for is to look pretty.

People that actually have things to do, & clone DVD movies, or game disks that are copy protected would notice that XP is far more stable & far better as an OS to clone without crashing!

I don't have to fish around for drivers for mine. Things just work. XP is also lots easier to manage files than Vista.

I work with thousands of files, so the ability to sort by type/show in groups is very important. In XP, it works! In Vista, they have many other options to confuse you & sort it, but the XP options I liked are gone.

Vista is a dead dinosaur if you really get into usability business wise.

I leave XP on for weeks at the time sometimes. No probs.

I don't have to optimize CPU!

Also i dont know about you but i hardly ever even shutdown my computer. It will stay running days on end. so shutdown and startup times dont really even matter in the end. And with DX11 coming out soon on vista i dont even think i wanna upgrade to windows 7. ive heard things from my friend that all the new gui changes from the standard vista and xp stuff is really confusing. And who wants to deal with that.

As Far as i can tell on vista there are no problems. Also i really don't ever deal with dvd's or cds anymore. All my drivers or antivirus(Avast) programs are internet downloadable. Also functionally vista has been better. Alot of the crap id had to deal with in xp such as duel core optimization or amd processor drivers are gone. its just there. Also having to fish around for my network drivers disk is a thing of a past, the internet is basicly plug and play.
