Windows XP Petition
I was somewhat disappointed to read this article posted on CNN. I understand how people and users get used to one program, but i think people need to give up a good thing for the benefit of new tech. Take for example, the coming analog signal conversion happening in the US for TV. The government, while late, is taking measures to free up more spectrum for other technologies. The same goes here. If everyone is going to rely on XP for the rest of time, then how can Microsoft and other vendors continue to grow and expand their own horizons. From the start, Vista has gotten a bad wrap, and rightly so. Do you honestly thing XP was solid pre-sp1? No WAY was it remotely close to stable, that’s why so many companies were still reliant on Win 2000.
I think people will eventually adopt Vista. In my opinion, Microsoft needs to market Vista better to regain user perception on how this operating system runs. What do you think? I also believe the marketing department at Microsoft needs to come up with fresh ideas fast!
