Is XP Gone?
Read this
A while back I received an email announcement from Dell informing me that they would no longer be
offering Windows XP after June 18, 2008. For those of you contemplating a new system, but
are wary (as you should be) of Windows Vista, that was your last best chance to get Windows
XP... a very stable operating system that has been shown in many tests to be faster than
Vista. XP works with almost every program made to run in the Windows environment. Last
April, Microsoft released the final version of Windows XP Service Pack 3. I have tested the
Beta version (RC1) and the final release on my on PC's and have found very few problems and
you'll find a nice improvement in speed. Although Microsoft is doing everything it can to
force the issue, XP has been outselling Vista and XP will continue to be supported for years
to come since most businesses have not embraced the latest MS OS. Now you'll be forced to buy OEM or full versions of
Windows XP, assuming there are hardware drivers available for your PC. The good news is that many software developers have
abandoned projects for new Vista software programs, so hardware manufacturers may be forced to create XP drives for their
components. We'll see.
If you have already purchased a PC or laptop that came with Vista and are dissatisfied you
can "Downgrade to XP" in most cases. If XP hardware drivers are available then you can go
back to XP. The additional RAM that is needed for Vista to operate will turn your
downgraded system into a speedster! Although some say you downgrade directly from Vista to
XP, I believe the best way to make the change is to start from scratch. For more
information call (473-5200) or email me. (russ@portjeff.net)
