Agreed. XP is now seasoned with the kinks ironed out and now they want to

discontinue it.

 

All that does is support an already bloated and costly PC support business

to release beta-Vista and discontinue XP.

> Save Windows XP

 

Microsoft will make more money if they kill it. Customer needs and

preferences are down the priority list somewhere. Plus, the egg factor.

Corporate executives often would rather lose customers than admit they

fouled up something fearce.

> The vast majority of people I know are moving from Windows to a Mac

 

They just made Apples half the floor space on my last visit to the local

computer store. And 2/3rds the people were in that space. No doubt, Apple

is getting the high end.

 

But looking at the low end, Eee PC, they can't keep the Linux versions in

stock.

They get the numbers faster than anyone else. I am sure they are aware.

Self destructive actually.

True, but neither ADS, Orcad, Protel DXP, or PCAD run on that platform. The

cheaper under 1000 dollar programs might, but none of the heavy hitters.

Still, Linux is my favorite operating system. No bloatware with that

platform, no gigantic system requirement that Microsoft requires. Linux has

great potential.

http://video.google.com/videosearch?q=ubuntu&hl=en&sitesearch=#

 

Clicking on above, I got the Link comparing Vista with Ubuntu, isn't Beryl

nice?

 

But Windows 7 is Vista regurgitated. So in fact it may be the same piece of

crap as Vista.

Retarded left libertarian (go Barr!) actually, thank-you very much.

 

You have done nothing to dissuade me from thinking Windows users are
