A World Without Windows XP
Posted 07/09/2008 at 11:11:29pm
I am a former Windows XP user and I must say, it was a great system. I loved everything from the look and feel to the support and functionality. I used XP for about 3 years, and only once did I get the Blue Screen of Death (crash screen), but when I decided to upgrade to a laptop, the only system available was Vista. Having heard all the "cons", I was a little weary about buying the computer. But it was only on sale for a short while, so I bought it. The first time I turned it on, I knew this was the system for me. The look and user interface is amazing and can be easily changed if you don't like it. And I have yet to find hardware or software that does not work on Vista. If Windows/Microsoft does not have new Vista certified drivers, the maker of the product has most likely made the drivers and are readily available on the maker's website. So if you are considering upgrading to Vista, I would highly suggest it!
