Yeah -if- You buy a New Computer you will likely get stuck with have Micorsoft's VISTA pre-installed -but- your Old PC that is running Windows XP will have support for Five (5) more years. Hopefully within those Five (5) Years Microsoft will have something better than VISTA as their latest super-dupper OS : Plus you will have a lot of new Hardware to Want-to-Buy. -ps- Five (5) Years is almost Two (2) Life Cycles in the ever changing Softwave-and-Hardware Turn-Over-and-Upgrade PC Users Dilemma. and . . . that's the way i see it ~ RHF .

It's the product provider's job to find out if their product is well accepted by the market or not. And it's their product so they have every right for making the decision. If they think Vista is so good, just terminate XP and make Windows 7 even more like Vista. Of course, it's also them who have to take the consequences of that decision. Life finds a way, so no need to beg anyone for keeping a product or not. "Clear Windows" wrote in message ... http://www.neowin.net/news/main/08/0...ng-official-pe... 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. And you know this because...? - Imagine how nice it would be to have a REALLY fast, reliable PC that ran on Some Future Iteration of hardware I've got multiple installs of that OS right now...it's called Vista! - but had Reliable, Familiar Windows XP as its OS Why? Once you become familiar with Vista, then XP seems old, slow and clunky...just W2K did after we became familiar with XP. - tapping into whatever faster Internet / server farm is standard down teh road. ???????????????????????? Worth Saving Windows XP, in the opinion of over 200,000 Yeah right. You don't think for one second that 200,000 individuals responded do you? 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. And I am daily amazed that this piece of **** can't actually still type on a keyboard with his fat, bald head shoved all the way up his fat stupid ass! Simply amazing! Frank We all know you are experienced at installing updates. It seems that updates and service packs are a way of life with Windows. Oh? As compared to the 180+ updates for urbuttoo? 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 Who is #2, 3, 4, and 5? Who is #1,000? |
