Can we please save Windows XP?

[Spin]

I agree about Windows ME. Definitely the WORST OS ever release by M$.

The "UP" button was replaced with breadcrumbs which are much better.

In your opinion. And, why couldn't we have them both?

 

[Spin]

Sorry, I don't get you. New machines today are BUILT to use Vista. Large
fast-access HDDs are the norm. Dual core processors are very common. 2GB
RAM is almost standard. Vista uses no more resources proportionally, in a
machine BUILT for Vista than does XP in a machine BUILT for XP.

Too many laptops ship with 4200 or 5400RPM hard drives (just like in the
days of XP) to really support that argument. Sure, 2GB and 4GB laptops are
increasingly common, but the rotational speed of the disk is a very
important factor in OS performance.

And by extrapolation Windows 3.1 is a HUGELY less resources hog than XP. So
why not use that?

Slippery slope arguments are logically invalid.

Windows 3.1 was not part of the discussion.

But non-bloat OSes were. and W3.1 is DEFINITELY non-bloat OS.

 

[Gordon]

Are you serious? Everyone knows that 3.1 was just 3.0 with new lipstick!
It was a complete pig - it needed 2 MEGS OF RAM and a 486 CPU for decent
performance! It gobbled up 10 WHOLE MEGS of disk space!

Some things never change.

ROTFL!

Where did I say I would be using an IBM XT with no HDD, two 5 1/4" floppy
disk drives,
640k RAM and Windows 3.1 then? Why are you so defensive?

Because His Latex Girlfriend Sprung A Leak! Just FYI

You are beating a dead horse.

Translation: if you want Vista, be prepared to fork out money for hardware
or for a new computer. The new Ubuntu runs fine on my Athlon XP 2200+ with
one gig of RAM and an nVidia 256MB video card.

No argument there!

You want to live in the past. The world moves forward. People desire
better hardware and operating systems. With Vista, you get both.

So are all the ones you smacktards use here, but you keep it up.
