Do you want to save XP? sign the petition, so far over 180,000 have. If enough people protest, maybe microsoft will listen. To find the petition, search "save windows XP". Please get your friends to sign on. Its possible to save XP!

Maybe next time I have to reinstall XP on my 3 GHz P4, I'll try installing it for fun!

Wait - I have 95 here too, and wait a minute - I have floppies (remember those) with QDOS on it of you really want - wait - computers dont come with floppies anymore - oh well - I guess we can send those to school with my kids for show and tell..
BTW: I really like Vista - runs great, stable, fast - and if I really need XP - I just pop open an XP VM..... |

Some of us out here are still running W98. Once the malware perps are totally preoccupied hacking away at Vista, XP, Win7, and even OSX, we'll enter our golden era of security-through-obscurity.

"180,000 people out of the millions upon millions that use Windows? That's like a speck of dust."
That's because the rest of them upgraded to Vista and can't get the darn web browser to work (or past all the insane security measures) to add their names to the list. |
