That's not my point. No-one is saying it doesn't work, it's just that millions of users don't like it and find it hard work.
Don't they do any customer testing to get reactions?
Or is it 'Microsoft knows best. Learn to love it'?
Millions of us(most of us) don't have touch screens and probably don't want or need them. Were we all forgotten?
It's OK for you experts, some of us struggle to switch on.
Nobody gets a chance to become an expert with windows, they always cock up the goal post's.
Don't have a go at entwisi, it will ruin it when he goes overboard about Linux!

Have you tried Linux?

Rather than complain and call him an expert?

It only needs your effort to try to understand either OS.

Oops sorry forgot to mention one of my favourites, Apple, but then you'll complain that, that is too complex/expensive, won't you?

Re: Windows XP The Countdown Begins

It seems Microsoft alternate between good & bad releases. XP (which I have) being one of the better ones, maybe the best? Vista - bad, 7 - good, 8 - bad, yadayada.

I'll keep using XP till forced to do otherwise. Then maybe switch to Linux/Ubuntu.
