    Re: Users petition to keep Windows XP

    Amen Vasili,

    I do believe they should keep XP as Vista is just too slow and buggy in its current state. I feel once you buy a computer you should have the choice of XP (any version) or Vista (any version) and not be monopolized into Vista only. They have, and make, no guarantees about any OS so what makes them think that everyone will just be brainwashed into liking Vista eventually just because it is forced down their throat? Bad business but when you are the fore-front of OS making companies, you can choose to make some harsh business decisions.

    Not that I agree with them but they feel they will saddle the horses and you can jump on the bandwagon or be left behind, up to you. Again they will lose customers but if you want a computer with in the next 5 years you gotta go Vista (if you want support) sad to see but they just dont care.

They are justifying this by the ability of updating the OS online universally and in a protected manner, but to me it reeks of sheer control over everyone's computer as a fashion to make them dependent upon the Company (that is like saying handcuffing them to the cash register).
      I'm having problem with XP because it runs slower on my PC. Vista runs a much faster on my Core 2 Quad. It sounds crazy but it's true. This will not all happen if we will close our GATES to them.

        people to embrace Vista, some just can't be wowed. They complain about Vista's hefty hardware requirements, its less-than-peppy performance, occasional incompatibility with other programs and devices

          Wow, never going back to RAM hungry XP! Loving the Vista!
          I think that Vista uses much more RAM than XP does! I tried running Vista for weeks and finally went back to XP Pro. If MS wanted to create a real winner, they should just make XP Pro look like Vista and call it good.

              Count me in. I have three desktop computers that uses Windows XP and two that uses Vista. But I use my Windows XP PCs more that I use my Vista PCs.

                Me too. All of my systems run on XP or XP Pro and I tried Vista several times now think it is a giant waste of processing power, and a waste of my time!

                KEEP XP!

                  This is how i feel,

                  Windows Xp = Good - functions well, nearly all programs supported and it just works

                  Windows Vista = looks great - thats it......... too slow, too resource hungry not great driver support

                  Windows 7 = Excellent! My favourite OS - combines the good parts of windows vista ( mainly the looks) with the bits of Xp that just worked. I have yet to find a program that wont work on Windows 7. Since Vista has been out for a few years now the industry has caught up with drivers for it and all most of these are compatable with windows 7. Windows 7 is quick, simple to use, introduces new features and has XP mode in its Pro and Ultimate editions for those of you who have one of the few programs that will only work in XP

                  I recently bought a new laptop the had Vista, i booted it up once and then downloaded the Windows 7 RC 7600 and have never looked back since , now waiting till October to get my free upgrade to the final Official Windows 7 RTM
