Windows XP are on the way to phase out.

I loved XP and you are right is was very user friendly, I never wanted Vista after hearing what a lot of people on here were saying but last week my friend who tests for Microsoft talked me into letting him put Windows 7 on and I must say I love it, I am not good with change but have just taken a week to get used to it...I love it.

XP is being phased out to make way for Windows 7, not Vista. 7 isdue out here in the US in October. After that Mcrosoft will no longer support XP or supply any updates or patches for XP. From what I hear, 7 wil not have many of the problems Vista had when it was released. For XP users that want to upgrade to 7, there will be a problem. You can't do at least not directly. To go from XP to 7 you would need to do either of two things, a clean install, which erases your hard drive or install 7 as dual boot. In either case you would need to re-install software to run under 7. (I believe there are some 3rd party suppliers who are going to sell programs to store files during the upgrade but I don't know what they are at this point.) The one way to upgrade to 7 without losing data, upgrade to Vista first. Yes, it looks like Microsoft is trying one more way to force people to buy Vista.

I am using XP I have not installed Vista but my friends have used it all are saying that it is not nice only service pack is nice I dont know correct reason I am the person depends on public talk for any thing to use so i have not used it.

Hello my friend shellback Ji, Well, I am only using windows xp. At present I am using and comfortable with 2007 version. But as I started this I am sure, I will not have any problem with Vista. May God bless You and have a great time.

I have used Windows Vista, it has great looks and a slick interface , but I have got used to Windows XP and would hate to give it up. Vista cannot be used in all machines as it requires huge memory space whereas XP has become universally acceptable now. I hope we can carry on using XP for some time more before it is totally replaced.

I prefer use xp like you mentioned recently its user friendly.I will take more time to learn vista.Until now xp is the best window .

Talk about pet peeves !It makes me so angry how every time something works great,they must try and improve it while we sit patiently waiting for these new wonder systems,to get the kinks out. XP Lover forever! Its all about control and money.

I will use Windows Xp more than Vista. The main reason is that Windows Xp works fine with older PC's but for loading Vista one need to first invest on hardware of PC and then also the booting of Vista is very slow. So, I will prefer Windows Xp, Windows 7 is looking cool and much faster then Vista. So, I might shift to Windows 7 but not Vista..

I have been using Windows Vista for 2 years now so it is so hard for me to say which one I like better. But I have used some other peoples computers that had Windows Xp and I think Vista is easier to understand. It does have many more feature and I think you need to really go into the system to stop running all the programs that are installed when you first get it. I also know there is another Windows program that came out about a year ago but I forgot the name of it. So for me I feel Windows Vista wins in my opinion. Take care and happy mylotting to you.

Vista is only good for a very basic user. For a power user, who would need a very stable operating system and complete control on the machine, vista is not the right software. Vista was the worst operating system microsoft developed since windows Me. Hopefully windows 7 will be better than vista and will become the rightful candidate to replace xp.
