why are people still using XP?

You do have to laugh. Most of you are aware that Microsoft has changed their policy on being able to downgrade to Windows XP, now until April 2011. Of course the other requirement Microsoft has slapped on is the exception if and when SP1 for Windows 7 arrives. I liked the end of a Microsoft statement which said ‘if a service pack was needed’. LOL
You gotta be joking there Microsoft. What was the last operating system that didn’t have a service pack? Any way, the real story is that people still love their Windows XP no matter what Microsoft does or say about Vista or Windows 7. Folks are content to keep an operating system that is nearing its eigth birthday, which in tech years, is really getting up there in age. So what is it about XP that people just can’t live without?
According to one source over at the Market Share site, they estimate that about 61% of users still are hanging on to Windows XP.
I have four computers in our home and two are still using Windows XP without a problem. I think my wife would be down right angry if I took her XP away. So what is it about XP that people just don’t want to give it up?

Resolved Question
How many people here are still using windows XP?
I still am because it is a good operating system even though it is aging.I hear Windows Vista has had some bugs and Windows 7 is brand new. I guess I am still in the dark ages.
The computers at work (UPS-freight forwarding) are still on XP.

I was with XP until I got a good install of 7. Windows 7 is the first windows OS to not need a service pack out of the box. I do a lot of high end Audio and image editing, and I have never had an issue.
I have worked on several vista machines and I can tell you without a doubt it is almost worse than windows ME (remember that piece of crap)
I was a die hard xp fan until I started working with 7. It’s a needed update if you want new technologies like true intergrated multitouch interfaces, all of the new amazing shortcuts, and just general smoothness of the OS. It is time.
I have a lot of work to do. It’s like people don’t even realize Linux exists.

My experience with Toronto police has been that they are aggresive, cowboys and frankly jealous of civilians that appear to be doing better than them. I think they take this out on people when they can.

Why is there a show called “When animals attack”? It should be called “When stupid people go near dangerous animals.”
