I wonder if these numbers are similar in the US.  Personally I find this alarming.  I am not sure if the amount of additional maintainance is greater for newer versions of Microsoft.  I waited to use Vista and bug surprise, I liked it.  Well, I will put it this way... I haven't had an major issues with Vista (unlike 98, 2000, and XP).  I acquired my copy through a new laptop purchase and no fuss so far.  If I buy a new laptop or desktop soon, I am going to use Windows 7 if it's on there.

I guess we all will be stuck with XP for a little bit longer.  In a few years I can stay I used XP for a decade.  You don't get to say that much these days.

You are one of the few. I hda problems burning cd's, recording audio, etc. etc. It works well for like surfing, office, etc. though. so I guess it's not too bad. I personally think I will be skipping Windows 7 unless they give a free trial because I'm not repeating my past mistakes ($400 for vista down the drain).
