Microsoft decided to continue stopping selling Windows XP from January 31, 2008. For more details, you can refer to this news article from
BBC UK.
Well, for myself, Windows Vista is just another the-very-same-story as Windows Me in 1999, which made thousands of PC users hate Microsoft most. Again, I will try my best to keep the ThinkPad T42 with Windows XP Professional running as long as possible, or buying a new Macbook Pro in case it eventually comes into an end ... don't Microsoft think, know and understand, what a computer needs is actually very simple: userability!
For me and Minnelli, basically Windows Vista is not useable, insecure, trouble-making, extremely inconvenient to use and wasting money for meeting processor and memory requirements as it does not worth at all!
Will you spend much more money for an operating system (or a new PC with an operating system) which is insecure, troublemaking, inconvenient to use, seriously memory-and-processor-not-efficient performance to any types of users? Well, we did, but never again!
Therefore, the next question to myself: Why not a Mac?
