I saw it coming. Windows XP is obsolete.

[QUOTE="timma25"][QUOTE="Makari"] businesses loooooove 7. combined with 2008r2 and probably server 2012, there's a lot more fun stuff that can be done with an enterprise that has money to throw at good solutionsMakari

Where I work, they only use systems that don't involve logic, or are hard to use.

1. You dont need an Anti Virus program but you pretty much need a firewall.

2. Dont trash XP, or Win200 for that matter, both are extremely reliable and are still used in a variaty of real world applications ranging from retail stores to manufacturing to all kinds of stuff.

3. SP1 is old and this will force people to update to newer SP2 or eventually SP3 and possibly allow upgrades to be possible for the Steam client that were not before.

its really not that big of a deal, but seeing as how the mess with Win8 is Im not exactly overly happy when my neck will be on the chopping block and Ill need to upgrade.

I havnt posted here in a loooong time but I see, GS hasnt changed a bit.

Why can't I trash an OS that has the security equivalent of an open front door?

No. That'd be like trashing a model T if every time you got into one it exploded.

"hurr hurr model Ts are old don't talk smack" *walks toward model T*

"NO DONT GET INTO THAT MODEL T! THAT SH!T SUCKS!" *BOOM*

why would anyone use Windows XP SP1... All the discs have 2 and regardless if you did have 1, you get SP 2 and 3 free.

Well thankfully I'm still running Windows XP SP3. Runs more reliably than my Windows 7 setup, that's for sure.KHAndAnime

I have been using Windows 7 since 2009 and I have had no problems. I thought I would hate it and go back to XP, but I will never touch XP again.

You think XP has good security? lol

How about the fact that it takes about 5 seconds to open command prompt (even without having access to cmd.exe), create an admin account on a supposedly locked down account?

GummiRaccoon

Right click the desktop, make new text file

Enter this into

@echo off
%systemroot%\system32\cmd.exe
pause

save as whateveryouwant.bat

Go ahead and google how to make an administrator account in the command prompt to go from there
