Default The End of Windows XP
As I was surfing Yahoo's Tech News, this caught my eye!

Did you know that Windows XP will be clearing off from shelves in June 2008. New computers released will be Windows Vista. XP is going to gone!

Too bad for those Vista haters, you better own a copy now or your screwed.

I saw that too somewhere. Not that I like Windows but I gotta admit that XP was good. Too bad it will be "discontinued", there are a lot of things that could be done with it.

Anyways, I'm moving to Ubuntu soon so I don't really care about Vista hehe.

Ubuntu is a free OS, like Linux. Search Google for more information.

I hate Vista, I don't know why, it's because my mother bought a laptop which Vista was installed on and she complained all the time how stupid it was, etc. :31:

Anyway, we can still use Windows XP, so there's no problem. People can still use Windows 98 so, I'm not bothered. It's not completely gone, and it never will.

Well, what i've heard, is that windows XP will be off shelfs by June, AND technical support such as updates etc will be off in the year 2011. I forgot where i got that info.

And theres going the be a new version of Windows by 2011, announce by Billy Gates himself. Codename "Windows 7". Google around. Don't ask me, i'm not interested. I'll get a Mac as soon as i can and you won't see Vista on any of my PC's.

Don't get Vista. If you really want, get Ultimate. If you want Ultimate, get at least 2 GB ram and minimun graphic processors. Otherwise, don't.

In fact, it is Linux.

A distribution of Linux, or as the open-source community likes to say that, a "flavour" of it. :tongue1:

Some say strip down linux you get unix. and strip down Mac OS you get unix too. And thats why they hate Mac OS. But do they know how to strip it UP? no? then stop blabbing and get a Mac.
