Hurray! At least I'm not the only one who is happy with XP and has no plans
to upgrade to Windows 7 or 8 as long as my computer still works and does
everything I need it to do. Millions of people will continue to use XP well
after support for it ends in April, despite the overblown media hype about
hacker attacks, and I intend to be one of them. I'm the kind of guy who
gets aggravated and frustrated easily, and buying a new computer with
Windows 7 or 8 sounds like a recipe for aggravation.

Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Switching From XP To Windows7
Below are my opinions.
Don't switch to Windows 7. It's just a big hastle. I've had a Windows 7
machine for two months, and I still don't use it regularly. Keep getting
automatic updates if you must, but I believe that the XP security risks
are hiped by Microsoft to try to push people toward more modern, bloated
operating systems.
From my experience, you will see all sorts of error messages when trying
to instal your favorite programs to Windows 7. Some programs you use every
day will no longer work, some not even in compatibility mode.
It seems to me that Windows 7 was not made for a power user but radically
simplified and coolized to simplify the computer at the expense of
efficiency.
For all around grunt work (sound management, music ripping, document
editing, PDF viewing), I'll put XP against Windows 7 any day.
