I agree. If I had the means I'd put XP on my current laptop. But I don't
have an XP CD.

Howdy,
As a tech, all I have to think about is having to deal with the debacle
called windows Vista and the nightmares both end users and companies had
some 3 years ago. I have no Idea how many businesses and personal
computers
got kicked to the curb because of the amount of issues that soon ta be
dead
operating system had. It basically took end users to fix all of the bugs
in
that system in order to have windows 7 which in my opinion looks good and
sounds really promising; however, I'm not ready to trash my good fully
functional windows xp system which is still going strong and will be until
5
and a half years from now which by then, I'll probably have something
windows 7 related. XP has been Microsoft's best operating system
surpassing
the vaunted windows 98 and will not be retired until somewhere around 2016
if you keep all things on the Microsoft end up ta speed and all your
components including the hard ware, protection, and third party apps
shipshape.

And seriously, how many average home computer users are looking that
far
ahead anyway? Why all this flap over an operating system that is
perfectly
functional and will be in 3-4 years?
I wonder how many perfectly good working computers ended up in
landfills
because people ran to get on the Windows 7 bandwagon? We do live in a
throw
away society after all.

xp will work fine as long as you don't plan on going on line.
there will be no support for any of your current software if you need
help.
there will not be anymore critical updates to help keep the hackers out
of
your computer.
no more xp driver support for anything you might want to buy or replace
when it goes bad.
no xp support for window eyes or jaws, no xp support at all after 2013
so if you are going to use your computer for a fishing weight the go
ahead. thats all it will be good for in 3 or 4 years.

What problem? Who says one has to upgrade all the time? And dont
forget, there are alternatives. Who cares if IE 9 will not work on XP?
IE 8 and older still wroks. As does Firefox.
This mentality of upgrading all the time does not make sense at all.
No sooner you buy a new computer, its obsolete. There is always
something newer better bigger. Productivity? How many people really
care? What is it that drives so many people to try to get the latest
and
the greatest? Take the new iPhone as an example. 600,000 pre orders in
the first week and many people camped out overnight to be first in line
to buy them when they were released. Insanity.
XP will run just fine for years. So will the software that is used
now.

Hi, the problem with this is that more and more software is not going
to
work on xp. So at some point you're going to have to choose if you
want
to
use the latest software to upgrade. For example internet explorer 9
isn't
going to work on xp. The windows live programs are not going to work
and
there are others. Just like with windows 9x did a few years ago the
productivity is going to decrease for those users who do not choose to
upgrade.

Hi Everyone,
I want you all to know, that just because we have chosen to go to
Windows
Seven, we still have several computers here using XP for various
reasons,
one of them being money it costs to upgrade.
I also wouldn't tell everyone to upgrade to Windows Seven, either.
It's an individual choice as to what one wants to do. <smile>
Just becuase many of us choose to use Windows Seven, that doesn't mean
that
Windows XP isn't loving! <smile> lol.
Now, let's all be kind and loving to each other. <smile>
I think that those loving folks at GW Micro put up with a lot here.
<grin>
lol.
I'm personally glad I don't run this list. <grin> lol.
If I didn't have a loving husband who is very techy and who installs
everything here, I mean operating systems, I would probably still be
using
XP. lol.
Operating systems are Blessings.
