Save it? Its not going anywhere, you will still be able to use it for
years to come. Heck, you could still use Windows 3.1 if you wanted to,
no one is stopping you. Same with Windows 2000, NT, 98, ME, 95....


Well,


let me spell it out.


say next year , you want to buy a nice new Shiny PC..


but your choices will be either Vista ( search for Vista on Youtube )


or something that might not be compatible with your work group, or
require a" Windows MVP" to support it.


If Windows XP is available , pre installed on your new PC,


you're good to go.


Currently, with Vista, to get any sort of performance out of it, you
have to figure out How to disable half of the system


just to get the same performance you currently get with Windows XP.


- and I say


Why force the computer illiterates of the world ( the rest of the
Population)


through all this Hosre Siht.


Why, with Vista, they can't even get out to Yahoo Groups.


Having a " Vista Only " PC world is delegating many PC's of the world
into fancy screen-saver endowed paperweights.


A Vista Only PC world will cripple normal commerce and industry.


And I say,


*why put up with this Microsoft "Vista only " crap!


Just Worry, Cajole and Bullyrage *Microsoft


*into making Good old reliable Windows XP available for *The
Foreseeable Future..


Thank You ..


David,

OK - Simple Question : Why not buy any new PC with Vista
installed on it; and Erase {Wipe Clean} the Hard Drive and
Install Window's XP on it ?

Very complicated, very expensive.

Most PC users have just about learned that the Cup Holder actually
reads CD's.

Asking them to re educate themselves about a complex, cumbersome OS is
not practical or realistic.

the only thing that they know is " Buy A Mac". " Buy A Mac".

As for " Ubuntu" and "Linux " , they are either Countries in Africa
or Rap Guys.

Windows XP is a Nice, Safe, realiable OS that
Should be an option when one goes out to buy a New PC.

maybe..MAYBE.. Microsoft will stop pumping Apple
by forcing crummy OS's on the computer illiterate.

So Please, sign the petition then send it around to your friends.

Maybe they'll listen
