The final goodbye to Windows XP
The final goodbye to XP
Windows has announced recently that it will not be possible to buy netbooks with Windows XP preinstalled. As we know, netbooks were the last place where the spark of XP survived and now deteriorated and quite needy. More than two years ago that Windows XP had stopped selling to manufacturers and end users. From October 22 this year and not with that concession by Microsoft to the melancholy users can count on.
This removal of market Windos XP was not an overnight. If you first stopped selling the operating system, followed by offering to pre-install on netbooks, but also was given the option to downgrade to those who purchase the Windows Vista Business edition. Then, this was ruled out, since the launch on Windows 7 was removed downgrade option. The last step in dismantling this scale was that decision to remove the XP netbooks.
In a portion of the user community should not generate much resistance this decision by Microsoft. For a long time that more than 80 percent of netbooks sold in the U.S. market come with Windows 7 . When shown that Windows 7 runs well on PCs with Atom processor, and solving that problem on the inability to run more than 3 applications simultaneously, many of the users have come to accept the Windows 7.
Yet there remains a minority that insists and persists in continuing to use the Windows XP. Damn sad in a way not resign themselves to forget the "dead dog" they want to bury under the new banner of Windows 7. What do you do it with that 19% of the user community?, Are they merely the sign of "regression", lack of ability to adapt to new technological developments?

I guess that 19% of the questions if you are a sign of regression sure some if you will, but we have gone to other Linux distributions, and if we keep the relic is that our "beloved" Directors, in its let us work things easy and thinking about the freedom of action of its citizens still obliges us to continue with closed systems, expensive, and we have no choice but to contact them using a Microsoft system, and the work we have to pay the amounts that the operator will occur for those rascal SO why do I have to pay x euros from time to time to continue working?.
Then continue with the XP, that damn grace that made me buy it until it bursts.
I can remember that we are almost two years of Windows XPiró and yet the NT user community has not stopped using the Windows 7 migration is not exactly a single migration or continuity and OpenSuSE, Mandriva or Fedora have taken a 2.5% of participation (only offered ubiquitous Ubuntu). By 2014 another penguin will sing hymns and praise: perhaps Mint, Arch or simply the Kubuntu ARM tablets. A prolonged agony of XP does not allow the deserved requiescant in pace.
All this reminds me of the opportunity it has had ReactOS. I guess at this point and still in Alpha will be almost impossible to tempt the 19% of XP users.
What do you think of the final goodbye Windows XP?
