| 1403511 | 2015-06-24 03:15:00 | I bought a few PCs cheap from lemmings racing to W**8. Those few went to people are that far happier with their PCs than the W8ing mob are. A couple have upgraded to W7, as have a few W8ers. Sort of musical chairs really, if you don't have a good seat when the music stops you may be W8ing unhappily a long time. :-O |

| 1403512 | 2015-06-24 06:34:00 | XP just seems to keep going. (arstechnica.com)I like it. XP was wonderful, as was Vista SP2. My 8.1 now is happy with me now, but I do miss the simplicity of XP - it was such an easier learning curve. | Greg (193) | ||

Also, they could type just as fast as any multi-core, multi-gigabyte wonderbox of this millenium. ;) |

WXP still is here. Ask my wife. Wonderful might be a bit strong, but XP does all she asks of it, and it is so familiar. |
