Don't waste your time and effort
MS doesn't make money supporting old OS's. They get rich supplying new OS's
no matter how crappy they may be.
XP is very good. But so was the '57 Chevy

 

[Steven]

MS dont really listen to customers , they only care about money.

Rember the vb6 classic petition ? dident work did it

Still if enough users actively use xp rather than the vista shit they maybe
forced to extend it , i wont have vista forced up on me..

How would that force them to extend it?

 

[Steven]

well with everyone using a unsupported windows os over time it becomes old
and more hackable , people will look for alternatives such as linux and Ms
will shit themselfs at looseing the market.

they were pritty upset about linux getting on all the low cost laptops that
they allow xp to be licenced to run on them.

Tell us one hack you found. Just one.

 

[David Morgan \(MAMS\)]

Don't waste your time and effort

And what would you be trying to prove with such a request?

MS doesn't make money supporting old OS's.

Quite the contrary. "Support" isn't the issue.

My local Fry's software department manager, whom I see weekly,
told me that he sold more copies of XP Home and Pro (retail box
coupled with OEM envelopes) since the release of Vista, than he
did in the 2 years prior. I personally bought at least one XP OS
each month since the VISTA release, and ALL of my build clients
but one _requested_ XP. That's almost 30 copies of XP that I am
personally responsible for in the past 16 months. I also think that
if you have a go at asking HP and Dell customer support, you will
find a staggering amout of refunded $$ for VISTA buyers to revert
to XP.

They get rich supplying new OS's

Right... to the big 'box' companies... at slightly reduced rates.

That's not really 100% true. It IS for oil companies, drug companies, and the IRS.

Still if enough users actively use xp rather than the vista shit they maybe
forced to extend it ,

C'mon.... they just stopped NEW support for 98SE a couple of years
ago... you can still find every update ever made for 98, 98SE & 2K at
Microsoft. XP has a long life ahead of it unless Ze Department of Ze
Homeland Zecurity forces the issue.

i wont have vista forced up on me..

With Uncle Sam in the picture, the New World Order and Big Brother
actually coming to life, we may not be given much more of a choice
than Bill was given to create a bullet-holed OS like Vista.

 

[David Morgan \(MAMS\)]

and more hackable

Wrong... people lose interest and stop bothering with hacking the old crap.

"Old" is irrelevant except where speed is concerned, which really doesn't
affect the OS itself.

That's already happening.

they were pritty upset about linux getting on all the low cost laptops
that they allow xp to be licenced to run on them.

In a poll on an Asus Eee website, 96% said they won't change from running
a linux distribution on it.

The petition won't stop MS. Vote with your wallet. Just skip Vista.

Do you really need Microsoft's "support" to continue using XP? Users
don't like it. If it wasn't for DX10, few gamers would be upgrading. It's
a DRM nightmare, and a memory hog. Businesses are not switching. Even
software developers are not starting to write for Vista in any great
numbers.

Vista will soon become known as the next Windows 2000. And if MS makes
good on it's threat to make Windows 7 (Vista's successor) a subscription
only operating system, XP will soon become known as the Last Great Windows
Operating System. Buy a copy before the end of June and stick it away for
your next system build, or to replace whatever comes with your next computer
if you don't build your own.

Bet MS and Intel will work out a scheme to make XP obsolete hardware wise...
pray they will not force you to go subscription only (or Linux, of course)
after Vista... Nehalem is almost here.
