And I'm not 'trashing' XP at all for its time, it was a remarkable feat of software engineering.but I can't help feeling that if it had been made by anybody else other than M圜rudSoft, it would only have gone from strength to strength.instead of being dustbinned.Īll I'm trying to do is to make members aware that there are alternatives out there which are not only 'easy-to-install', and 'easy-to-use', but also easy to maintain, too. I have no intentions of 'scorning', or of 'belittling' any member of this Forum I understand, and sympathise with, the lengths you have to go to in order to keep the thing running smoothly, believe me. I 'struggled' with XP for the entire duration of its supported lifetime.all 13 years of it, in addition to 'struggling' with Win 2000, Win98, Win95, Windows 3.1, etc., etc, for over 15 years before that. If you want to continue struggling with an unwieldy behemoth of an archaic OS, feel free. The 'hard-core geek' image is a thing of the past.Linux distros are trying their very hardest to attract your average Joe nowadays, and that means lots of wizards, plenty of 'tooltips', easy ways to install anything you can imagine, etc. There's hundreds to choose from, and the majority are now very, very easy to install and to use. IMHO, the best thing to do is to use XP 'offline' for your cherished/age-related apps/programs that you want to keep, and to use a lightweight Linux OS as a daily driver.and for secure browsing, banking, etc. And computer OSs are ten a penny if you scour the web. ![]() There's this 'air of mystery' that's always surrounded Windows I don't know why.when all's said & done, it's only a ridiculously over-engineered OS. There's plenty of 'cracked' versions out there that'll do what you want, and give years of reliable service. M圜rudSoft no longer give a shit about XP, and neither does anybody else. Personally, I don't know why on earth you're getting all worked-up about 'legal' activation. ![]()
