They've decided on a schedule for discontinuing XP by the end of the year.<BR/><BR/>Might be time to look over Linux Windows Emulators.Johnwww.fathernye.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30557718.post-55629890524989535222008-06-29T22:32:00.000-04:002008-06-29T22:32:00.000-04:00Intel, at least, can market its processors in something other than a Windows box: they can sell them inside Macintoshes. I used to be a windows guy, but now I am a Mac guy. Apple's OS X running on an Intel processor makes for a very satisfying computing experience. Apple produced OS X because they knew that a better OS was crucial to their future. It has paid off, too; Apple is gaining market share, particularly in the higher and more profitable end of desktops and laptops.<BR/><BR/>Hopefully, at some point, Microsloth will feel sufficient pain that they will be forced to FIX windows: pare it down, ditch legacy code, and perhaps even do something as daring as Apple did when they based their new OS on a variant of Unix (the latest version of OS X, Leopard, has even been certified as a compliant Unix OS).Sprocketeerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05526060842433026272noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30557718.post-22897902897593567362008-06-29T22:29:00.000-04:002008-06-29T22:29:00.000-04:00Heh, I myself only "upgraded" to XP from 2000 a year ago.RaveBombnoreply@blogger.com
