Default Funny thing is..

I just read an article about how Windows XP is safer than Windows Vista, Windows 7 and 8.

I'm not sure for how long this will be, but it's good to know good ol XP has some value over the new kids on the block!

As a TBI patient, I find it very hard to learn new things. As a result, the constant changes in technology are a nightmare.

windows xp has done this before

windows xo professional version is bullet proof

support is a joke i ran xp no windows updates the life of the pc

win xp is stronger faster better than 7 or any other

you want safety security all that find a older pc and use xp

i have a older laptop im buying a 160 gig drive for and 2 gigs of ram thats fast enough for most normal users and im going back to xp

on windows 7 i have been hit and even erased 10 times with firewalls anti this that more security than i ever used

they just try to scare and force you to use there new os like all new pcs wont run xp they force you to use 7 or 8

i like garage sales they throw out great pcs just to run 7 or 8

so do what you like they are now after 7 and 8 xp is a distant memory to hackers

What?

This is either a gross exaggeration, or you have a deeper issue. I have over a dozen Win7 machines running in my building (that I maintain) with very little problems.

I upgraded all of them from XP about 2 years ago because they are smoother running, less temperamental and recognize peripherals much better then XP ever dreamed about.

update: I am still using my old XP Pro laptop with no issues. My security suite has apparently done its job to keep me safe (enough).

Still don't know if I should go Apple or Windows, leaning towards Apple only based upon on how great the Apple store near me has been for kids
's ipod and my 5S.

I went on newegg, etc and my head felt like it would explode - sigh

I am going to have to correct you here. There is NO difference between XP Pro and XP Pro Corporate Edition EXCEPT for the licensing.

XP Pro is licensed for one individual. They can re-install it numerous times with the same product key. The "Corporate" edition is a volume license for install in large offices with robots at cubicles.

How do I know this? I was the "guy" that did the purchasing, installation and upgrades of hundreds of machines in a BIG corporate setting.

Lets not confuse people here if we can help it.

ok thanks for info i always gave Corporate Edition i liked it better and like said my customers could crash change parts without the dreaded xp shutdown

beats me about that because i used Corporate Edition but thanks

the main point is its bs only time xp dies is on new machines new machines force the new windows if you want drivers that was my point all old already running xp are fine just another not explained well scare

thanks
