Only a mere 2 weeks from now the final death toll will have rung for Windows XP. Your default option for a Windows operating system will be Windows Vista. It’s time for it to sink or swim right?
I’m not sure how I feel about this move. I realize and understand that Microsoft needs to move forward with operating system support and start focusing as much of their efforts on Vista instead of continuing to keep people propped up on Windows XP indefinitely.
The problem with that thought though is that Windows XP is still a great operating system. It’s got its issues and had it’s issues from day one (just like Vista), but it’s just been so long on the market as the de facto operating system on Windows machines that it’s a tough one to walk away from quietly.
Are you an end-user that’s reluctant go move to Windows Vista? Are you a developer that’s still developing for XP exclusively? Since push has now come to shove, will you stick with a Windows operating system or will you now make the jump to Mac or Linux options?
I’m sticking with Microsoft and Windows, but if I had the cash I’d love to have a maxxed out Mac laptop running Windows just to compare things.
