  1. Comment - Windows XP Adoption Rates Slow

    (Jun 17, 2005 - 1:19 PM)

    I could care less whether Microsoft supports Windows 2000 or not. I have NEVER ever needed their help in my life! I figure things out for myself and solve problems myself.

    As long as the software I currently have still works, why should I buy the latest version? My computer always will keep on doing what it is already doing. Why do I "HAVE TO" jump on the upgrade treadmill? (Just because poor poor Microsoft needs a cash injection every couple years?)

    Not to mention that simply by switching to XP, I will have to upgrade all the OTHER software I use to newer versions because of XP SP2. In my case that will be over $12,000 per machine. SWITCHING WOULD BE VERY STUPID!!!!

    And I especially don't want to use XP, since you can't use any new Microsoft products anonymously. In order to use Windows XP legally, Microsoft has to have a file on you with your name address phone number email address, social security number, bank account number, credit card number, blood type, urine sample.

    Thanks I'll just stick to Windows 2000 FOREVER! Besides, the way Windows XP insultingly treats you like a retarded child with attention deficit disorder with all the childish animations and annoying wizards that have to 'hold your hand' through everything. I'd rather not have to look at all that unnecessary bloatware.

    What is there about XP that is a "MUST HAVE" that Windows 2000 can't do???

    Bill Gates and Steve Ballmer can BITE ME!!! The only way I'll allow XP in my company is with a court order!
