Windows XP won’t die!
October 10, 2008
Microsoft had originally announced that they would stop shipping Windows XP Professional to hardware vendors after January 31, 2009. Last week however they announced that they have extended that date to July 31, 2009.
There has been a significant backlash against Vista from both the private and corporate sectors. There are few compelling reasons for your average user to upgrade from XP (some gamers may argue that however) and many users don’t want to suffer through the learning curve present with Vista. Not to mention hardware drivers for Vista are still hard to come by for older hardware and it is almost a given that you’ll have to upgrade much of your software to be Vista compatible.
Weigh in on the subject by commenting below. How do you feel about Vista? Are you using it at home or at work? Here at Computer Rooter we are always training on the latest platforms so that we can provide our customers with cutting edge computer support, so we are running Vista on many of our workstations. XP however is still the operating system of choice on our workhorse computers that we just can’t be without.
