    I have used Windows 7, Windows Vista, Windows XP, 98, ME and 95. Lets face it Microsoft have an almost impossible task to replace XP! For me XP is so good, it runs all my software, all my hardware, no problems. Vista will use most of my hardware but not software. Windows 7 wont run properly...

    Windows XP What happens to XP after June 30?

    Hey guys, Just wondering, does anyone know what will happen to XP after June 30? Will Microsoft allow people to use it freely, or just be avaliable illegally (or resold only from old stock).
