Love XP-Pro--what to do next?

What are XP fans going to do? http://groups.google.com/group/alt.w...a6bfcb4?hl=en# Crossposted thread I understand there is still a HUGE installed base of Windows XP around the world. For most of us it's more of a love/hate relationship. I WISH Linux really competed with Windows. Lindows looked like a hopeful competitor but even after they won the law suit, they didn't seem to try very hard, became Linspire. Do you think the worldwide economic problems will pressure Microsoft to keep XP support going for a few more years? I'm at 3.4GHz single processor and newer hardware won't even double my speed. My last hardware upgrade was a SIX TIMES speed increase at $ 125 per computer. How many dollars per computer would it cost just to TRIPLE my processing power per computer? 6 processors, 64 bit architecture and massive memory, right? LOL |

They've already dropped support for XP. Nope, you have another 18 months or so: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/windo...ofsupport.aspx -- SC Tom |

If you didn't want any, all you had to do was turn WUA off. Yeah.., we know that but it's not the point. After XP updates I have to reconfig various customizations and I don't want to have to do that any more, but I do want the updates for as long as they're available. -- Garry Free usenet access at http://www.eternal-september.org ClassicVB Users Regroup! comp.lang.basic.visual.misc microsoft.public.vb.general.discussion |
