Windows XP gets more life

Microsoft just extended the life of Windows XP by 5 months. Instead on ending shipment of Windows XP by January it will extended to the end of June. I don't think Microsoft gets it that because you put lip stick on a hog it is still a hog.

 

I still fine with XP and hope microsoft can do something about that..

 

Now XP also gone out of service...

Why are you still approaching Microsoft?
Go for open source platform. They are cheaper and secured and powerful..

 

Hmmmmmm.. I like Linux better than M$ now.

 

I started to switch to Linux because of this Vista slow thing. Even that I have a powerful PC (E6600 with 2GB RAM). Linux Ubuntu 7.04 is much faster and can do anything and more safe.

Just today I installed VirtualBox 1.5 to run a plain XP installation because as a Web Developer I must work on Photoshop CS3 and Dreamweaver CS3. All is running fine and fast.

Looking forward to upgrade to 7.10 in 15 days

 

People should definitely switch to Linux. Microsoft Vista is to much of a resource hog. I can't believe Microsoft would think that just because they made a new OS people would go buy a new computer just to make them rich.

 

I've spent so many years with XP it would be a hard transition if i changed to linux etc.

 

Glad that Microsoft listened to their customers. I will eventually upgrade to Vista but for now, I see no reason switching from XP.

 

Does Microsoft even have a clue on what people want any more. Can't sell Vista, can't get people to use MSN.
