I like my Windows XP Home very much, and I have heard numerous reports about Vista not living up to its promises. What would the problems be if Microsoft kills Win.XP? What about support for Win.XP? Will that be killed too?

Have read everything about VISTA and it really does not make a strong reason to change from XP.
Don't play games and really do not want to purchase another Desktop system at this time. If there were real big changes and more open system support in VISTA it might make a better choice. Keep XP.

I still like Windows98 better than XP, let alone Vista. XP takes much ,much longer to boot up, and to shut down than 98.

Where's the proof of Microsoft wanting to get rid of XP? I just read from MSN that they're going to keep going with XP, in fact, later this year they will release XP SP3.

I'm tired of buying expensive books to learn all this stuff. I go back to Win 3.1, 95,98,ME,now Xp Pro. If I'm forced into Win Vista, this computer goes on the trash heap, and I'm getting out of the E-mail business and info seeking. I give up and Microsoft can go to blazes.

Please let us keep XP

I am not a computer guru but xp works for me and from what I've heard about vista from people who seem to know what their doing. I am staying with what works. If some one trys to force me to use some thing I don't want, I'll switch to a Mac.

I work from both home and office, and I like XP.
Others at our office also use XP for entering data and sending to the office.
When someone sends from Vista, things get really messed up "format" wise.
Keep XP please!

I knew a couple yours before this happened that Windows Longhorn (or else known as Vista's development stage) was going to be pressured on the public just as XP was when it came out. Looking at my trusty hardware that has lasted since '02, it sickened me to think that I would be forced to buy a new computer every time Microsoft says its time to switch. I did switch... to Ubuntu Linux, and I haven't been happier with my PC until recently. I currently run PCLinuxOS 2007. My PC has aged gracefully, but it is still not outdated.

Let us remain out of your marketing-consumer race (XP seems OK either without patches).
