Isn't it true that Windows XP actually did everything Windows Vista and
Windows 7 does with less RAM, less memory, less user frustration, less
expense, no compatibility issues and maybe less compromise of privacy. Why
are we not given a choice of which to spend our money on?
Is XP gone or coming back like the turntable?

No, it is not true

Since you ask about Win XP and Win 7, not Office 2003 v. 2007, much less
Excel 2003 v. 2007, I suggest that you post to an appropriate NG. For an XP
bias, I suggest microsoft.public.windowsxp.general (the DG Windows Windows
XP General Discussion). For a Vista bias, I suggest
microsoft.public.windows.vista.general (the DG Windows Windows Vista
General Discussion).

Post here for any Excel questions.

PS: I wouldn't touch Vista/Win7 or even Office/Excel 2007 with a 10-foot
pole. Sadly, I'm afraid I might have no choice if/when I must replace my
laptop, now 5 years old and starting to suffer mechanical problems. Of
course, by then, I will probably have to take Win10(?) and Office 2010 or
something even more recent (read: risky).
