Nah....ditched XP for a Mac last year.
Why do I want to pay bucks JUST to change my operating system if my current operating system does what I want it to do?
Win98 still running strong!! LOL
For your tech PING list.
My main computer is still XP, and will stay that way for some time.
Vista simply does not run some of my older apps like MS Money 2002 Deluze, even though supposedly it can run in Win95/98 mode.
Baloney!
I have Vista x64 SP2 and it hasn’t been too much of an issue. The only issues I have had are with IE7 and IE8.
Easy answer. No.
heh heh
7 does look to be significantly improved, some even saying it runs as fast as XP.
The release candidate is free to download and use for a year, and I am considering doing so. Just worried about screwing up the computer with Vista on it (wife’s...).
Never buy a MS OS until the 3rd SP.
Thinking about it. Haven’t tested the RC on any of my systems yet to make a decision. I’ve been scared to.
And I’m not spending any money on it until I can test it. Made that mistake with Vista.
please add me to your techie ping list.. ? thank you!
If you are an XP user, has what you’ve seen of Windows 7 made you willing to ditch XP?
XP with SP 3 is the best system out there...I manage a LOT of computers...no problems...why fix it if it ain’t broken?
I have been running the Windows 7 RC since it was released and it is ok but it does not feel like home. I like XP better. 7 has a couple neet things but im not overly impressed as of yet.
I’m ready to ditch my ONE Vista box for Win 7, but all my XP boxes will remain XP boxes.
No. Windows 7 has DRM stuff that I won’t pay money for.
I’ll wait to hear how it goes — for six months or so.
I have heard some complaints...
Since 7 has a cumbersome upgrade from XP, does that also mean that the programs on XP will have difficulty running on 7?
Upgrading for the sake of upgrading just doesn’t appeal to me. And what I’ve read about 7, it doesn’t offer anything new and WOW! that I can’t live without.
I cringe at the thought of trying to get all my programs to work, if I migrate to 7.
I will predict that half of the public will be with XP through 2016...and there will still be 25 percent of the public with XP through 2020. I see no reason to advance...XP has everything I want and it functions perfectly.
