Windows XP - Will Kill Vista support?

Author: Steve Bralovich

If Microsoft has its way, you will not be able to buy XP after 30 June 2008. According to sources, the public wants the opposite.

Like all new operating systems, Windows Vista introduces a new era of incompatibility for existing Windows users. Despite this, Microsoft plans to launch Windows XP retired 30 June, a few users, however, want to keep XP alive in the coming years that may continue to function reliably and efficiently.

According popular science, there is a fundamental effort to force Microsoft to keep selling XP to customers of cellophane packaging and equipment. What is behind this movement? Just to clarify, this is not really a "base" of the movement. In fact, it is orchestrated by InfoWorld, an online news publication.

Without But with 71,386 people registered at noon January 30, 2008 petition to save Windows XP, it is clear that the movement is tapping into a source of resentment and opposition Vista operating system level.

Bad news for Vista, but not in any way surprising. Windows XP works quite well for me and for millions people around the world. Why should we abandon all major applications that have relied for years find that they just stopped or refuse to work at all in Vista?

There is really no compelling reason to upgrade to Vista for most people. If you want the fresh Vista 3D task switcher that previews its applications, can TopDesk just bought for $ 20 and XP will do the same. Nothing special here.

If XP is not fast enough and it takes more speed, and then buy more RAM, faster hard disk or clean your PC and install an anti-spyware. These methods work and be much cheaper and less frustrating than trying to cope with the plethora of driver problems that many Windows XP users are reporting when they transition to Vista.

What Microsoft does not understand us and accept that there is nothing wrong with wanting to retain a measure of proven operating system or program. Windows 2000 and 98, for example, still have their users, even though the operating system Microsoft has been supported by several years. The difference this time with little success Microsoft has had to make users switch to Vista.

That the operation of the system of ill-such as websites, they found that to show people to downgrade their Vista systems to XP. And the people at Apple have a field day showing your Vista vs. those Apple ads. Having generated a lot of Apple converts! Talk about shooting yourself in the foot with a marketing program gone wrong.

I'm not saying that there is scope for improvements in Windows XP. Dual processor support is essential, but having to do more to convince me to change. Some Whiz-elegant interface bang features or less security features will not practice for me. There are advantages, is simply not enough to make me want to change.

Is clear that Microsoft has dropped the ball with Windows Vista.

Anyway, I'm not going to jump on the bandwagon Vista soon. If you have Vista and like it, that's fine. But need reliability and ease of use, for now, is for Windows XP.

Obviously, having or maybe next Vista replacement Windows 7, eventually will replace most XP systems. Change is good, but not if this change creates problems that never existed first. Then kill the hope that the end of Microsoft support XP, at least until you can make a worthy choice of Vista recovery facilities.
