Re: Save Windows XP! The clock is ticking

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 -
