    Admit it, who's still on Windows XP?

    I eventually moved up to Windows 7 a few months back, things are going well, all my old software works.

    I see Microsoft are giving 100 Bucks credit if you upgrade now

    Microsoft offers users $100 credit on a new PC to switch from XP

    P.S. Anyone who mentions Windows 8 will be banned from the forum.

          i'm already using win 8.1 from last year, at the beginning you will hate it, even if you come from win 7 but, after a while, you will understand that is more better, even for desktop tasks.

                  That's usually how it always works, bitching, then you just get used to it or it is better.

                      I have 3 machines that still use it at home.

                      Also, 8 is the same thing as 7 with a few bells and whistles added ontop.

                          We have all Windows 7 here.... I'm good.

                          Windows 7 is pretty much trouble free for me. I am running three monitors on my machine here with no issues. Never had a blue screen of death on this machine or anything.

                              I'm using Win8 and honestly, have no issues with it, other than its not actually letting me upgrade to 8.1 even though the 'upgrade' message shows up nearly every time I restart my laptop lol

                                      Wife's old Sony laptop still runs xp.. I'm just waiting for the laptop to die before getting her a new one, but it's refusing. 8 years for a laptop is good going. She's attached to it, will only get a new one when it dies.

                                          Keep paying for an operating system that never works properly...


                                          When will we have an operating system that works?

                                                      Got one system on it. Always to busy to upgrade it and then when I'm on it I am usually using it to do something.

                                                          I have unused win xp licence,i cant use it as it's 32 bit version and it need to be 64bit to utilize all memory.That is why i have win7 instead.Tho i would return to winxp at any time.

As a webmaster you are going to run into annoyances such as eventually it will be useless for checking IE compatibility since XP no longer supports the newer IE versions. Then eventually newer software will not work with it and compatibility will be a lot like say having Windows Me is now.

                                                                              You don't like my posts? Put me on ignore or fuck right off. I'll say what I want.

                                                                                      I actually have a very old desktop with 98 SE on it. Obviously I have other desktops and laptops which I do work on but it sits and collects dust. The funny thing about it is that it's actually fairly quick with it's current configuration. If you put XP on that machine it would be as slow as molasses in the Klondike during the winter season

                                                                                                  What is up with that? I am annoyed by this for the last few months.

                                                                                                          This isn't true. I had mine for 5 months now and I still find it as awkward as the day I got it..

                                                                                                                                  The good: get to have 16Gb RAM

                                                                                                                                  The bad: I used moviemaker to put together stuffz, the win7 version is ok but nowhere near as good (fuck knows if you can split imported scenes, and if you can, how to do that), and for what I use it for, it just isn't worth getting some super-duper all singing all dancing video 'maker'.

                                                                                                                                  overall: I can live with the limited movie maker on win7, and being able to have a ton more memory is useful, though again, with what tasks/processes I run, there isn't that much difference. Not as bad a transition as I thought it'd be though.

                                                                                                                                                              The good: get to have 16Gb RAM

                                                                                                                                                              The bad: I used moviemaker to put together stuffz, the win7 version is ok but nowhere near as good (fuck knows if you can split imported scenes, and if you can, how to do that), and for what I use it for, it just isn't worth getting some super-duper all singing all dancing video 'maker'.

                                                                                                                                                              overall: I can live with the limited movie maker on win7, and being able to have a ton more memory is useful, though again, with what tasks/processes I run, there isn't that much difference. Not as bad a transition as I thought it'd be though.

I could buy a used Win 7 machine, or have an XP machine built for me, but wtf man.

                                                                                                                                                                      XP is still the best, that's why it won't die. Microsoft should stfu and support XP again fuckers.
