Windows XP Dying?
Every where I look I see an article talking about Windows XP dying. Could this be true? How could it be true? I have been working with Ubuntu and Windows 7 lately, but I still have some machines running XP. These computers will probably run XP till I can no longer keep the computer alive. This is because they are not really fast enough to use windows 7. These machines are also running radios and radio software, thus I do not have to worry to much about them getting sick with a virus or even a cold. So I guess until I get some faster machines to run the other day to day computing Windows XP will live on in my shack. So I guess Windows XP is not really dying, but a group of people are trying to help it die faster.

Like you I'll be running XP for as long as I can keep it alive. Microsoft won't be providing any more updates for it but so what? A lot of ham software doesn't run properly under newer versions of Windows and I bet that will be an even bigger issue with Windows 8.
ReplyDeleteWindoze XP will have updates until 2014
ReplyDeleteIf you really want to get into LINUX then I suggest that you try Debian (Proper) or LinuxMint LMDE I personally try to stay away from Ubuntu, or any "Forks" made from Ubuntu as I think that it's getting too bloated, just like Windoze, just my 2c worth

Yes there will be critical updates till then, it is the after that could be fun! I have been using Ubuntu mainly because it was closer to Windows and easier for me to try something new. Also, Ubuntu was easy for the XYL to use.
