升级好？还是降级比较好？

原以为能够买到我想了很久却找不到的TheSims游戏CD，但却因为没有了第一集而泡汤了。
想要买“三国志”，却因为不确定能不能support Windows Vista 而取消了那念头。
就说要降级去Windows XP 嘛，贪什么新鲜，现在连玩个game 也不能。

其实常在想，一个已经升级的OS，不是应该更能够support 所有的software 吗？为什么反而有更多的限制？那，到底是已升级的比较好，还是我应该把Vista 降级到XP比较好？

从旧e-mail 里找到这笑话：-
At a recent computer expo (COMDEX), Bill Gates reportedly compared the computer industry with the auto industry and stated,
"If Toyota had kept up with technology like the computer industry has, we would all be driving $25.00 cars that got 1,000 miles to the gallon."
In response to Bill's comments, TOYOTA issued a press release stating:
If Toyota had developed technology like Microsoft, we would all be driving cars with the following characteristics :
1. For no reason whatsoever, your car would crash twice a day.
2. Every time they repainted the lines in the road, you would have to buy a new car.
3. Occasionally your car would die on the> freeway for no reason. You would have to pull to the side of the road, close all of the windows, shut off the car, restart it, and reopen the windows before you could continue. For some reason you would simply accept this.
4. Occasionally, executing a maneuver such as a left turn would cause your car to shut down and refuse to restart, in which case you would have to reinstall the engine.
5. Macintosh would make a car that was powered by the sun, was reliable, five times as fast and twice as easy to drive - but would run on only fivepercent of the roads.
6. The oil, water temperature, and alternator warning lights would all be replaced by a single "This Car Has Performed An Illegal Operation" warning light.
7. The airbag system would ask "Are you sure?" before deploying.
8. Occasionally, for no reason whatsoever, your car would lock you out and refuse to let you in until you simultaneously lifted the door handle, turned the key and grabbed hold of the radioantenna.
9. Every time a new car was introduced, car buyers would have to learn how to drive all over again because none of the controls would operate in the same manner as the old car.
10. You'd have to press the "Start" button to turn the engine off.

我觉得他说的太贴切了，你觉得呢？ *_^
