XP wasn't good until it had been out for about a year and a half and they had eliminated the bulk of the problems (mainly shitty driver support).

hp stopped putting win 8 on their comps

use to hate on win8 til I actually used it for 30 minutes
instantly installed startisback obv and have never even seen a app system thing. dum but worth |
windows 8.1 is light years ahead of windows 7, especially in gui accelleration & optimization
with the 8.1 update 1 that came 2 days ago windows 8 went down from 2gb ram requirement to 1gb ram, and from 30gb storage requirement to 16gb, that makes windows 8 more light weight than vista/windows 7 for older computers. the ONLY reason people dislike 8 is the start menu, which is getting fixed in Windows 8.1 update 2 (coming summer, see picture) http://cdn.arstechnica.net/wp-conten...1.44.27-PM.png I've left windows 7 behind me and i'm never looking back, windows 8 is better in all aspects and also incredible secure to novice users and hard to "fuck up" if you don't know what you're doing. Get 8 if you're getting anything |
Microsoft is now charging companies that insist on staying on xp through the nose for individual support.
and stupid people in charge actually think they're getting a good deal out of this because they didn't have to upgrade -.- |

XP is a great OS. Long live XP.

64 bit xp (aka only one worth using on modern hardware) has a lot of random driver issues and gotchas as it was never fully supported in the first place. I used it for a little bit but eventually went back to 7 at the time
also with xp or 7 youre stuck using an obsolete version of directx that dosnt have all the tite optimizations that 8 does |

Obviously it's time to move on to newer OS for new hardware, but having to kick it off the boat like this is testament to how excellent XP was. Been a windows user since 95 and XP was the shiz. It's almost like they had to draw a line in the sand just to get people to buy anything new. About a year ago heard a thing on the news that 40% of the world's computers were still running XP. Yesterday, they said 30% of businesses are still running XP. 12 years later? Amazing. Like the AK-47 or B-52 of operating systems. 100 years later still in use. |
