Ping!...............
Not this boy. I’m just itching to give a mac a try.
“”It sort of hit us that, wait a minute, XP will be gone as of June 30. What are we going to do?” he said. “If no one does something, it’s going to be gone.””
Question, is the 6/30 deadline for the sale of XP or sale AND support?
“Neat policy. Make you product obsolete on a schedule.............”
The American auto industry was doing it before the Japanese came along. ;)
Microsoft’s next OS will be called “Ctrlaltdelete”
I have Vista, and must admit that XP is better. Microsoft seems to have a penchant for making things complicated.
Heh...hey I saw where Microsoft has already announced Windows 7 and Gates has said it will be ready in 12 months “or so.”
Is this admission that Vista sucks?
No, support end July 1st...................No just kidding, support will continue (for a while, until MS decides they need another OS).............
My next computer will be a Mac......probably a laptop.
lol...man my heart just stopped. Thanks a lot. ;)
I’ve been using Windows XP ever since it came out. I’m happy with it, and I don’t want to change.
I’ve worked with Vista - it’s a bloated piece of crap. Microsoft can have it. I don’t want it.
I, for one, am just about fed up with MS shoving a “new” and “improved” OS on me every couple of years, then pulling the rug out from under me when I buy it. I am seriously considering a MAC..................
No, it’s an admission that once a product is released a new one will follow.
On a related note, I was shocked to find that my local BMW dealer refuses to sell me a 2001 3-series!
There is no difference between Gates and the blood-suckers who run the Petroleum industry. They are cut from the same mold.
Hey, isn’t that the philosophy that worked so well for the Detroit Big 3 (now the Small 3) auto makers back in the 50s and 60s.
GM, Ford and Chrysler STILL get love notes from Toyota and Nissan. (I’m driving MY second Sienna mini and LOVE it.)
If the ARROGANT Bill Gates follows through with this, I’ll also be adding to Steve Jobs’ fortunes.
Yep, I just purchased a new laptop five days ago and Vista stinks! Oh what I’d give to have XP again!
There were five years between XP and Vista. Care to re-think that comment?
To late. Already starting to convert to Apples.: )
See ya MS.
What’s stinky about it?
