Windows XP will never die !!!

Recommended Posts

Microsoft originally said that new owners of Windows 7 who wanted to downgrade to XP would only have until 2011 to do so, but now the company has changed its mind and extended support for the old operating system until 2020.

That's right. Windows XP, an operating system that is already almost 10 years old, will apparently still be relevant for another 10 years.

"We have decided to extend downgrade rights to Windows XP Professional beyond the previously planned end date at Windows 7 SP1," wrote Microsoft in an official blog post. "Going forward, businesses can continue to purchase new PCs and utilize end user downgrade rights to Windows XP or Windows Vista until they are ready to use Windows 7."

Because users did not seem to be overly outraged about Windows 7 the way everyone was about Vista, it seemed perfectly fine to cut off the remaining life of Windows XP without too much haste. And for the majority of individual computer owners, that probably wouldn't have been a problem.

However, what is a problem is that 74% of businesses still use Windows XP, and for a lot of them, the cost of upgrading all of their machines to Windows 7 is not financially tenable. Thus, companies risk having old computers with Windows XP and new computers with Windows 7 which would fragment their network and make it impossible to streamline systems.

It is as a result of that statistic that Microsoft will now continue to allow downgrades to Windows XP for people who purchase Windows 7 Professional through 2015, and through 2020 for people who purchase Windows 7 Ultimate, according to a report from Computerworld.

However, as of yesterday, Microsoft ended all support for Windows XP SP2, so anyone who still wants to be covered by Microsoft support will at least have to move to XP's Service Pack 3.

Asta e pe moment. Cam pana in 2015 toata lumea o sa treaca pe Windows 7. E inca frica de necunoscut, plus ca inca nu toata lumea are PC-uri performante de W7. Totul e din ce in ce mai ieftin, plus ca incet-incet o sa fie limitari pentru XP. Daca ar face limitari la Office pentru XP, ar trece lumea si mai rapid.

Sa te auda Dumnezeu!!

=)))

@alstar AAHHAHA sa nu uiti sa imi pui si mie pile la THE GREAT ONE ^_^

N-am pile.. trec prea "des" pe la biserica. Daca te duci la biserica, ar trebui sa gasesti cateva:))

Eu treceam de mult pe 7 daca nu aveam tampenia asta de pc.

Si eu la fel. As fi facut multe daca aveam un sistem mai performant...:)

xp-ul o mai duce cativa ani, insa are cateva limitari, dintre care una majora peste care nu poate trece, fiinca xp x32 e cel mai reusit si x64 cam naspa, x32 nu gestioneaza mai mult de 3gb de ram, in conditiile in care in 2 ani, ram-ul uzual va fii up to 4 gb, fara sa mai socotim si placa video.

7 este cel mai stabil win folosit pana acum si am folosit de la win de la 3.1, care venea pe 3 floppy, trecand prin win95, 98, nt, me, xp

E un sistem al viitorului (w7), incomparabil cu vista si pe care vrand-nevrand o sa trecem cu totii. Eu am renuntat deocamdata la el din cauza tarsului de calculator ca ma enervau timpii de asteptare, dar cand voi avea un alt calculator mai performant sigur il voi folosi. E mult mai usor xp-ul pentru ca ne-am obisnuit cu el si inca e foarte folosit, dar peste 5-7 ani o sa se schimbe situatia.

bineinteles ca in cativa ani xp-ul va disparea ca win95.asteptam sa se mai ieftineasca sistemele care suporta mai bine win7 si sa trecem de criza asta si o sa vedeti,mai ales ca cei de la microsoft or sa scoata alt windows dupa,cum ar fi normal.

am testat si eu windows 7 dar in varianta LITE si mi se misca bine pe un sistem cu procesor intel la 3.0 ghz cu 2 gb memorie RAM dar un win7 in varianta full mananca prea multe resurse pentru el.

Asadar mai mult ca sigur o sa dispara xp-ul dar nu asa usor,inca se fac bani frumosi de pe urma lui.

Prefer XP-ul deocamdata (cele de la eXPer1ence).
