I hope they are not going to give up on XP, I don't feel ready yet to move to Vista

I tried Vista, it totally killed my productivity scripts, so I had to switch back to XP after replacing the hard drive (boot sectors were locked to Vista’s)

Vista is full of problems, too many for Microsoft to seriously consider sunsetting XP yet. If they insist on putting the sunset on XP right now, we should file a class action suit.

“Sunset” in the software world means to discontinue support and disable certain functionalities in the program, if not access to the program in whole. Some sunset clauses prohibit resale of programs or CDs, even as collectibles.

I had a hard time transitioning from Windows 98 to XP (still use Win98, but only for games that can run under it, even some games that supposedly only work with XP ) I still use Windows 3.1 and Windows 95 for certain DOS and classic Windows game collections. If they made base-level browser and networking upgrades, I’d use them. (adding functionality only – no need for security patches, I have a strong permission-based and sandboxing security program that works in those old OS’s)

According to open source pixels, this could be the last service pack.
I wonder if we will have to upgrade to vista or stay with an operating system thats out of date.

I dread the day that I will have to install Vista! Resistance to change? I tried out Vista and gave up. Perhaps a change to Apple Mac will be in order!
