Microsoft has reminded its customers this week of Windows XP's impending end of life.
Support for Windows XP SP3 will be dropped on April 8th, 2014, as will support for Microsoft Office 2003.
Marketing director Stella Chernyak says the end-of-life means Microsoft will kill off all security updates, non-security hot-fixes and technical support after that date.

XP was horrible until SP1 came out so you are right on about new OS's. The merger of 98se and NT was a big step in the day and XP was very buggy at first. Win7 is really what Vista should have been so it was a leg up from the start although it still has issues but they have made much improvement over Vista. To bad that they will go backwards again with Win8 but MS never seems to learn their lessons. I doubt that Seven will last as long as XP has but it is time for people to move to it from XP.

Enough said!
A) "Off base, as usual"?
B) So stores running crappy computers with XP makes XP crap?

XP has been pretty good.. for once microsux actually made something which worked reasonably well. Fista.. no comment.. win7.. should have been aborted before it was birthed.. it's a mess..
I love people slagging off linux.. people who have obviously NEVER USED IT .. most works right out of the box these days.. unlike crapdoze which usually needs all kinds of drivers and shit digging up and installing before it works at all.. I love these people quoting the same old bullshit "user unfriendly.. doesnt work" crap they have been spouting as their microsux apologist line for the last 15 years.. yes linux wasn't very user friendly in 1995.. was windows95 any better?.. not in my memory.. it was also a load of virtually unusable crap.. and networking was a nightmare.
Keep paying for turd polish guys, because thats all you will ever get from microsux.. and it will never belong to you (even tho you pay for it) because they only let you borrow it.. and call you pirates and thieves for the privelege.
I'm going to enjoy my blazing fast sabayon machine now.. cutting edge in every way except it's hardware.

WierdName, i think Mr-Movies is talking about Point Of Sales which is the long form of POS & is not critising xp but is at hearme0.

ddp, That would be 100% correct and was used with stores as a reference in the rebuttal which should be a big clue but WierdName would rather slander and point reference to ignorance when in fact he is the one conflicted by his slanderous reference.
You got to love it.... LOL
I use Linux and say it is not user friendly still, it's not that is still a fact even after 1996 for whatever that is worth.

You misunderstood me. I was addressing Hearme0's comment about XP being a piece of s*, which couldn't be more wrong. Given the stance of my post I'm not sure how it was read as an attack on XP being a point of sales system. Apparently I should have directly quoted Hearme0's comment to avoid any confusion. The only conflict here is if I should pay any attention to the subtle "as usual" reference from a random stranger I never communicate with. I'm assuming said stranger threw it in as a random insult to a perceived attacker of them so I'm just going to ignore it.
From my point of view, I addressed a claim about XP being a POS (piece of s*) system as ignorant and was then referred to myself as ignorant. My apologies if the context strongly implied the claim of ignorance to the wrong person but I think the content itself was enough to strongly imply who the comment was directed at.

if you had used lowercase for pos instead of uppercase for POS, then we might have understood correctly & i know you were critising hearme0.

I generally capitalize acronyms, names, and stuff like "I". I blame the schools.

Any loser sticking with this old antiquated system deserves to be hacked into oblivion after support ends.
No doubt someone will make the case "If it works.......why get rid of it?" blah blah blah.
And I'll say "If you own a total P.O.S. car and it works........would you take it across country for a road trip knowing it's garbage?" Any reasonable person would not.

This to me is Blah Blah Blah, tried 7 and it sucked, never had issues with XP, everything works just fine, people went on to pay some pretty big bucks for 7, now 8 is coming along even when 7 is still a rookie, who really is the loser.
