Hey Guys
I may be slightly behind the times when it comes to operating systems, but I finially cracked and got a copy of Windows XP Home yesterday.
I was running Windows ME and was coming to a point that I couldnt download a lot of the new software on the www because it is Windows XP compatable only.
I bought Windows XP and like the fresh new look and am enjoying all the new features. It's a very cool ooperating system
The only part I don't like is being forced by the industry to buy Windows XP!
With this new operating system you not only have to enter a buyer code but after it is installed you have to regester your copy with microsoft, or it becomes unusable in 30 days. No wonder so many are pirating this software, its so expensive. Not only that but we are being FORCED to buy it.
No wonder Bill Gates is a Billionare many times over. He controls an industry that forces users to buy his new operating systems because he in turn forces the software producers to make thier software XP compatable only!
I once heard Gates say on TV that theres a point where you are so well off financially that you cant live any richer, cant buy any bigger jets etc. Must be nice Bill. Hope you enjoy adding my $200 + to your 'money to burn to keep your mansion warm' pile. Thank God we don't have to buy Windows XP Pro. Thats like $400!!! Thanks for letting me vent guys.
So do you guys think Windows XP is a Savior of windows operating systems or a Ripoff? I say a little of both.
