If you can remember back a few weeks, Steve Ballmer went on record saying that Microsoft would consider extending the life of Windows XP if enough people asked for it. Afterall, many people don't want to upgrade to Windows Vista because they are perfectly content with XP. The problem was there was no way to ask for it. Sure, you could sign one of the many online petitions, but Microsoft considers those "non-official complaints" and the rest of us simply consider them silly. Well, word has been passed down to the tech support teams (and then on to Neowin) that they are to begin logging any calls that come in for the sole purpose of requesting an extension to the retail life of Windows XP. The calls will be logged and, if enough complaints are filed, Microsoft will consider giving XP some more time (no pinky promises, though). If you wish to file an official petition yourself, you can simply call the Windows XP Home Edition support numbers for your country and let the operator know that you wish to file an official complaint. Because we're so nice and want to save you the trouble, here are the numbers for a majority of Neowin's visitors: United States: (866) 234-6020 United Kingdom: 0870 60 10 100 Canada: (800) 936-8479 If your country isn't listed, you can visit the Microsoft Support Site, choose your country, choose Windows XP Home Edition as your product and then go to 'Contacts' for the appropriate support number. I disagree with their methodology but will make the call. Windows XP is fast, RELIABLE, and meets the needs of the vast majority of PC users United States: (866) 234-6020 United Kingdom: 0870 60 10 100 Canada: (800) 936-8479 Save Windows XP- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - - But the problem is that whatever Microsoft comes up with to replace Vista will be the same resource Hog Vista is now; - with no substantial gain.

If so, lets talk about some very fine bridges I happens to know of that are for sale...LOL! Also blogs are now becoming click-and-I-get-cash cows. Any resemblance to a real e-rag news outlet is delusional at best. Frank Frank knows all about delusional. It's his life. Sure you do, Madeline Most people fine it rather strange that the real malcontents in this ng are the ones who can't get their installs of vista to run properly. They blame MS and call those of us who have successfully, installed, configure and run Vista properly, 'fanboys" as if that somehow properly vilifies us makes their obvious computer incompetence some kind of an aberration. adam albright is the leader of that demented, delusional pact of idiot moron losers.

Or how about upgrading to a whole new os every six months? Isn't that the "way of life' with linux/urbuttoo, huh? Did you come to this Vista ng to try and spread your lies like you have been doing in the printer ng now for yrs? Guess what asshole, I've got your number and you're #1 on my **** list! Frank The Ubuntu LTS versions are every other year. *The intermediate versions are for new users to play with 'til the next LTS version. *There has never been a "whole new os" as far as I can tell, just constant refinements (usually hardware support as more and more vendors hop on-board) that are almost always 100% backwards compatible. - - - Ubuntu 8.04 is an LTS and like butter. - - Ubuntu sounds like a case of an African disease - We can add racist to your list of flaws.

The Word has its Origin in the Bantu Languages of Southern Africa.

I actually got my Everex from New Egg, but it is famous for being the $199 WalMart special. It really doesn't matter what you think since opinions are a dime a dozen. You can bitch and moan like a crybaby all you want about Vista or XP or whatever. It won't change things and you can expect that users will be using Vista or some other Microsoft product way into the future. Linux won't become crap. It has been on the market for around 10 years and frankly its not going to take over any market. Even if your claims of Linux superiority were correct, which they are not, no one still uses it for the most part. Find me major corporations in America that are conducting most of their IT and computer systems in Linux. Very few. Its easy being a libertarian and or liberal when you live in your moms basement. After all, you take pride in it |
