I am still using Windows XP is my favorite,but Windows seems to force people to use the news version  They cannot continue support for a 12 y.o. OS. It makes perfect sense. Though now I have to convince my grand-mother that she have to install a lightweight linux like Lubuntu (her machine is from 2005). But does not want to, since a 70-80 year old man she know will come next summer and install Windows 7. Good luck I say. Good luck with your grand-mother.And yes your right with windows xp support,is just my lazy ass keep me from updating my windows and buy a new laptop |

Most of that is getting fixed with the next update, just search for 8.1 update 1, I had the same frustration as you and decided to move back to win7 but now 8.1 update seems to be more attractive
You mean they completely abandon : - MicroSoft Account-pushing - remove Metro entirely from the System - remove App System entirely from the System - revert to a 100% Vista/Win7 Desktop ? That would mean some serious improvement, will keep an eye on that. - MicroSoft Account-pushing No - remove Metro entirely from the System Can be bypassed also they fixed the stupid apps and are getting the close reduce... on top right again - remove App System entirely from the System No Nothing wrong with the app system as it a success in other platforms, it would be an issue if they force to only use the app store - revert to a 100% Vista/Win7 Desktop ? It will have start button, and will look almost exactly as 7 with ergonomic improvement and especially system improvement (security/speed/standard compliance...) |

I miss Windows XP, I still have a fresh sealed copy. Is it even safe to use it anymore? I wouldn't mind installing it on a spare PC.

One word: Linux I miss Windows XP, I still have a fresh sealed copy. Is it even safe to use it anymore? I wouldn't mind installing it on a spare PC.
As long as you don't connect it to the internet it should be fine to use!  |

Xp was good but was needed reinstalations every max 4 months ... i don't use XP more but windows 7 experince is good for me i love it Indeed I am 100% sure Win 7 is best Windows ever. And even!!! System repair help tools function works! 1st Windows in history where you click "Find solution to solve problem" of whatever it say and it indeed will find a solution but this is not only one great feature of windows 7. I am under Windows 7 right now - OS installed 2.5 years ago working great, I am cleaning it, sure, but I do not feel like I need to reinstall It works same like it was 2.5 years ago  ... BEST windows ever. |
