Petition: http://weblog.infoworld.com/save-xp There is a Service Pack 3 coming. XP will be around a long time. That ( SP3) is ONLY for Current Boxes with XP on them; If , down the road a bit, you want to get a PENRYN or NEHALEM Powered PC, your ( Currently ) stuck with Vista ( More below ) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Posted by: tuxinator at February 17, 2008 05:56 AM I've used all windows variants from 2.0, and with only a few exceptions haven't had major issues with any of them. And I've NEVER written anything about software good or bad anywhere until now. This is my first ever post anywhere on the 'Net. Neither have I used Vista, but have fixed about 8 PCs with Vista installed ex-shop. All have complained about slowness - bootup, software loading and general use: even on one high-end Core Duo 2.0gHz machine. I'm planning to stay with XP until it falls over from old age. Mine's a P4 2.8, 1.5gb RAM, 180GB SATA HDD, etc etc. Was latest tech when I bought it about 2.5 years ago, so I think it'll last for a while yet. (Proviso being part availability.) If there's not something less of a HOG than Vista around at the time I'll seriously look at an Open Source alternative, even though I haven't got a clue on installing and configuring it at the moment. HOG used to mean "Harley Owners' Group", but now seems to have been overshadowed by Vista. Why oh why did Microsoft release such a load of rubbish - I know it's money, shareholders demand ROI, but MS is operating like it believes no other person's opinion matters except its own. ... wrote: If you have any computer controlled receivers, or ar thinking about purchasing a new PC, this should interest you Why Save XP: http://weblog.infoworld.com/save-xp/...earn_why_xp_sh....
