I do not understand. If Microsoft ends OEM and shrinkwrapped sales of
Windows XP, how does that force users to switch to Vista. Users of XP
already have the software - why would they want another set.

There is no reason to get excited about OS phaseouts. They are
inevitable, but you do have the luxury of waiting - unless of course
you are one of those who waits in line at Best Buy each time software
makers release a new version.

If you want an OS that doesn't run as much software then go with Apple
or Linux. Otherwise just hang in there with your XP.


Yuo better back up you r Hard Drive, or get a new one & back it up to
That;
;Hard drives do die;


So? If that happens just change it and reinstall the OS that came with
the machine. It's hardly the biggest disaster in the world.

You should do backups anyway of course!
