- Planets, on 04/15/2008, -0/+3If you already have XP, why do you want Microsoft to keep selling it?
- brooklynzoo81, on 04/16/2008, -0/+2If MS forces people to vista, i will learn LINUX!!!! Now is the time for a big Linux push!!!!
- ajaypathak, on 04/14/2008, -0/+2its already saved
- BigBoohooBaby, on 04/15/2008, -0/+1When you build a new machine, you need another license for XP
- DiggLive, on 04/14/2008, -2/+3Microsoft isn't ending support for XP, only new sales to OEMs.
- dlodewyk, on 04/15/2008, -0/+1pfff... yeah ok. (What about new buyers looking to downgrade and the other infinite situations where you could potentially need a copy of Xp).
Seriously though... Xp is way more stable than Vista.
Good thing I don't need to worry... I have a Apple running OSX 10.5.2 - mdahlqu, on 04/25/2008, -0/+1Vista is a RAM hog and really user unfriendly...especially for high end users! What's with ruining the menu options for MS Office as well...piece of crap...why did they change it that drastically? Time to learn the Google apps and move aways from MS forever!!
- lmoorhead, on 04/28/2008, -0/+0As the Technical Support Manager for a Web Based Database Application that has been repeatedly broken by Microsoft's "improvements", I am not anxious to see a widespread wholesale roll-out of Vista. Every client that we have who is running Vista requires 2 to 3 times the amount of support of any other client on either Windows XP or Windows 2000.
PLEASE SAVE Windows XP for the foreseeable future.
Mr. Lynn Moorhead
Tech Support Manager
Atlas Development Corporation - gypsybluz, on 08/26/2008, -0/+0I definitely agree...while I already have XP on my current system, I don't want to be forced to purchase it if I buy another computer. I should at least have an option of which Operating System I would prefer to have.
- nathalie99, on 04/19/2008, -0/+0Right, which means next time you purchase a new PC, you'll be stuck with Vista on it!! :(
MS should just scrap Vista and keep XP and improve it (if/when needed) with Service Packs. I don't know what MS was thinking with Vista. Also with the new office, my poor mom who has used Word, Excel, etc for YEARS and knows them inside out. got a job somewhere where they use the latest MS Office and she's COMPLETELY LOST! Even her colleagues are all complaining since the switchover to the new MS Office. - VivianB, on 04/15/2008, -1/+1I agree with one of the guys over at StreetImportOnline.com who did a write up months ago on how bad Vista is. He called MS Vista, Windows ME v2. I couldn't agree more with his comment! It's a slow and clunky piece of junk.
- metalmarious, on 04/14/2008, -2/+2yea same here, I already have Ubuntu installed just in case(any thing happens to my XP), hell, I only need XP for MS office. If MS stops supporting XP I will only use XP for my studies and let open source linux rock my world.
- Planets, on 04/15/2008, -1/+1No you don't. All you need to do is keep the harddrive. If you need a new one, just clone the drive to another one.
- ramriot, on 04/14/2008, -4/+3For now, but end of life is still looming on the horizon. I for one would rather switch to Linux than have to upgrade my perfectly good hardware to support vista bloatware.
