Windows XP No IE9 For You!!!!

[pezzonovante]

Windows XP is fugly, insecure and unusable. It's one of the worst OSes ever. XP sucks balls. Period. Vista was much better than XP and 7 is much better than Vista. Thanks to Microsoft for dropping XP support with IE9.

Nobody is accusing you of lying all we are saying is you haven't got a clue what your talking about.

See accusing me again!!

Do I really need to do a huge quote train showing you everything you have got wrong just in this thread?

I'am a PC Techie for last 12 months I have worked and I built Pc's for people 18 months before that. Installed 25 windows Vista's and only 8 worked right off. and no this computer is 12 months old and is a hp

LOL....I think the guy your commenting to has just a tad bit more experience. As do I.

Saying I'am Lying?? Don't accuse of this Please, OK? need to know me better!!

Are you perhaps reading the posts? No one called you a liar, but I have to say that my assessment of your posts so far is you are closed minded, not listening to the users who are posting in the thread, and most of their points and information are accurate.

You have a lot of reading and studying up to do , my friend.

I say it's good that it's not compatible with XP - XP is what now 9 years old or 10 years old? I think it's time people started moving forward if they want to try the latest software from MS. Although my friend still uses XP, she finds it easy to use and will continue to do so until her laptop packs up. Her sound card's already gone, she's just waiting for the rest of it to die.

I'am seeing what you are saying, but I'am not happy with the fact people have to spend money upgrading every-so-often.

WindowsXP is bottlenecked... :roflmao:

They dont have to spend the money and upgrade, but they shouldn't expect all the new toys like IE9 & WMP12 that come with the newer OS's.

 

[darkdisturbed]

If you're happy with what you have got, then that's fine. But the new technology that's coming out shouldn't have to be made available to the ones that are stuck in the past. Technology is moving forward and I think that's how Microsoft see it is - keeping going into feeding the past.

I didn't accuse you of lying. Where in the world did you get that from my comment? Jeeeesh!

That is definately only a personal opinion. And in the MINORITY I might add. It was the absolute best OS ever produced for many years.

 

[Coco15]

I Do see why people may want Vista but from my expirence I haven't had much luck and some people are also having problems. from what I have dealt with Some people have ran out and bought windows Vista without seeing wheather their computers can run it. I have seen some under spec computers running it and have old hardware. this is proberly whats caused some of the problems.

 

[Coco15]

From what I have seen Windows XP and Windows 7 are the best ones of all. Windows 7 has worked for me and not many problems. but my opinion.

 

[smarteyeball]

That's why I went from Windows XP to 7 and missed
Vista. like other sensible people.

I'm sorry, but no. Sensible people knew how to use Vista and as such, didn't have any issues with it. Part of that sense was knowing not install it on outdated hardware and to not blame the OS for the failure of 3rd parties to support existing devices.

Granted, the OS wasn't perfect (none are, nor will ever be), but it was from being rubbish.

If it wasn't for Vista and 3rd parties who took a long time to catch up, Seven wouldn't be what it is today.

And if upgrades weren't required to move forward, we'd still be driving Model-T Fords and sending children to work in coal mines...

I have problems with windows Vista and so are others.

A lot of people did. I'm sure a lot had problems with XP at first to. Why are we arguing about Operating Systems exactly? I admit it was fun to read the pages in this thread (especially the first two) but geez. Windows XP is outdated, get over it.

If you want to keep using it then fine, just don't expect new toys for it.

 

[Coco15]

As with ME and 2000 are we now saying Windows XP and Vista are outdated?

 

[z3r010]

BTW those of us that were around for the first few years of XP will remember it got just as bad press as Vista and up until SP2 was widely regarded as a buggy unstable OS (like vista this was due to bad 3rd party driver support).

Oh, how times have changed.

As with ME and 2000 are we now saying Windows XP and Vista are outdated?

Yes!!

 

[Dark Nova Gamer]

In my opinion, when a new version of something comes out. The prior version is outdated.

I'd say XP is definitely outdated. Vista, well thats more recent (much more)

OK! How many of us have had Problems with windows 7 so far? I have only had problems with audio but was fixed with the right drivers. and no problems since.

 

[z3r010]

I've had no problems with 7 at all, but then again I haven't had any issues with any OS since the days of XP x64 (again lack of 3rd party driver support).
