Microsoft fanboys fight for XP

Vista not for us

Microsoft fanboys are gearing up for a fight as the outfit threatens to pull the plug on Windows XP.

According to the Sydney Morning Herald, Fanboys have papered the Internet with blog posts, cartoons and petitions. They say that XP was better than Vista, which has hefty hardware requirements, is slower than an asthmatic turtle on its way up a hill towards a turtle soup convention. It is to software compatibility what Robert Mugabe is to economic strategy.

Since January the Save XP Web petition, has gathered more than 100,000 signatures and thousands of comments, mostly from die-hard XP users who want Microsoft to keep selling it until the next version of Windows is released, currently targeted for 2010. Redmond has extended the XP deadline once, but it shows no signs it will do so again and is refusing to talk to the Save XP Website organizers.

But isnt that how MS made its money in the first place :bleh: ............. I mean by selling their products (I wouldnt call them softwares) to the noobs and PHB's .

IMO , the USP of Windows is its ease-of-use and if end-users think they have screwed up Vista in that area , then MS would be really stupid to ignore the end-users . :no:

AFAIK all the so called techies and gyanis has stared using Linux by now.:tongue:
 
its more of a stubbornness i guess. kinda like my dad still using Win98 on a P4 cos hes 'used to it'. Now after much persuading, hes 'used to Xp'. So obviously the next time i ask him to move to Vista, the cycle repeats. The same for most casual non-techie users i guess.

P.S.: n this despite the fact that my dad has done programming in his time :p C, Basic, fortran, Dbase n god knows wat all :D
