In Reply to: Demise of Windows XP- Now what? posted by Mike (WA) on April 08, 2014 at 06:02:04:

Might consider MAC. Problem with MAC though now that its getting far more popular than it used to be through iPhones, iPads, lap tops, etc, is that now virus writers are busy writing viruses for MAC.

I've been hearing all day long that support for XP is ending today, which I knew from the bombardment of Microsoft screen pops that are popping up. First report I heard today was through the Wall Street Journal update on the radio station that I listen to, and then peppered throughout the day. Versions of Windows have come and gone, no mention. 93 gone. 95 gone. 97 gone. Millenium gone. Windows versions have come and gone, no mention. XP goes, A WHOLE LOT OF MENTION, especially from Microsoft. That tells me that they screwed up and know that customers aren't as happy with them as perhaps they expected. My company lap top has 7. I've dealt with a couple of customer cumputers that have 8. I've got no use for either. Neither operates like XP, neither can be minipulated like XP. Both assume that the users are mentally challenged and lock stuff down so that users don't have to think and can't hurt themselves. That's fine, the software belongs to Microsoft. They can do what they want. When my XP quits working and I have to relearn Windows away from work, I will stop using Windows period and get a MAC.

I still have a hard drive that came loaded with Ubuntu, a free OS out of South Africa that few have or use, but has free applications paid for by advertisers similar to how Linux works for fees. Time to fire it up and play with it. See what it will do. But in any event, time to move away from Microsoft. Time to move away from PCs. Its a big world, not limited to Microsoft. Its like anything else. You like what the manufacturer is offering, or look elsewhere. When the smoke clears, you make a decision that fits your needs best. Deere versus Case versus New Holland versus...

Good luck.

Mark

Today's Featured Article - The Nuts and Bolts of Fasteners - Part 2 - by Curtis Von Fange. In our previous article we discussed capscrews, bolts, and nuts along with their relative hardness and thread sizes. In this segment we will finish up on our fasteners and then work with ways to keep them from loosening up in the field. Capscrews, bolts and nuts are not the only means of holding two parts together. When dealing with thinner metals like sheet tin, a long bolt and ... [Read Article]
