As you can read in the above article, my words exactly.. Im getting bored of
being right all the time.

As I have said before, microsoft will be forced to extend support of XP for
a very long time...

Only if they make the next version of windows (called windows 7) better than
the monstrosity called vista, will XP be retired

Did you know Vista has a neat little Snipping Tool (Accessories).

Change Rocks!

You read the article. You forgot to read the reader comments. It must be
a terrible burden being right all the time, huh?

People said the same thing about Windows 3.1, 95, NT 4, 98, 98 SE, 2000 and
ME.

I guess its good luck. The point remains though, no one is forcing anyone to
upgrade.

Andre, there is a category of people who have very hard time accepting any
change. They cut their own nose but do what they please.

In 3 years they will be running around with green faces looking for drivers
and envious of software that has been developed for Vista only and they
cannot use it in XP.

It is not the first time this scummy DaveT has been posting precisely this

It is the only thing you, affirmative action wunderkind, have learned in

Are you drunk? Or, just a racist? Both?

I didn't learn about the enormity of your ignorance
in high school, I merely read your ramblings here
for all the proof needed in quantifying your unknowingness.

We must realize that times have changed, Windows XP is built on a way more
robust codebase compared to Windows 9x. So it stands the test of time more
confidently especially after years of Service Packs Windows XP has become a
mature product and a lot has been built on and for the platform.

But Vista is more fundamentally secure, and users and businesses will
require the changes in security that the platform offers making it a no
questions asked move to Vista.
