You know they dropped minwin to use server 08 right?

Everyones moving to it because it's new, and free in beta.

I'm going on personal experience, I am running both and I am saying for me XP beats it hands down. What is people's obsession with benchmarks on things that don't even relate to what tasks I'm performing. Which is gaming etc..

Don't forget it's still in beta so performance will only improve.

I of course know that, and the official drivers when released will make a nice boost. Its great for everything bar gaming, and transcoding. Its just smoother and faster on XP.

What shocks me, is that I used to be an XP > Vista fanboy until I was forced to use vista, now I realise how much XP is worse. you should actually just go to Vista or 7.

I have to say Windows 7 is a huge improvement on Vista, it's like Vista, but they got it right this time.

Maybe I like it because it's becoming more Mac like... (bwahahaha, joking :P)
