SONY indirectly admits poor performance of VAIO P, now offering Windows XP as an option

We posted an article "Top 10 reasons you should NOT get a SONY VAIO P" nearly a month back and it received a lot of heat from the people. We concentrated on the fact that even a $300 netbook can outperform a VAIO P any day in any kind of task and asking $1000 for such a poorly performing product is just not justifiable.The main culprit behind its poor performance is the big and bulky Windows Vista OS. Some people suggested us to install Windows 7, but we won't do that. Reason? We can not recommend BETA software or a software which is still in its RC stage to the users. Now, it seems that someone at SONY has finally used a VAIO P and has realized how pathetic its performance actually is. SONY has now finally announced the availability of a new VAIO P model, P50, which will be come with a much lighter Windows XP OS instead of Windows Vista.This also means a great news for the rest of VAIO P community as the users running Vista will be able to get access to the Windows XP drivers. Windows XP will surely make everything more usable and stable on the VAIO P.
