Save Windows XP

I’m a long-time Windows user and I usually upgrade to its newest version. But when Microsoft launched Vista last year, I resisted the urge to change the Windows XP operating that’s running my laptop. Two reasons.

First, I always (and you should, too) wait a few months, probably a year at most, before I do something as important as an OS upgrade, to wait what others had to say about it.

Second, I’m always wary of a product that purports to outperform another product that already works perfectly.

In Vista’s case, it was designed to ape Apple’s OS and interface, hoping to stem the tide of Windows users switching to Apple. (But some are suggesting that the recent surge of Apple in terms of sales and popularity is caused partly by Vista!)

In any case, Microsoft has reportedly announced that it would stop distributing and developing Windows XP. This prompted people, mainly because of their dissatisfaction with Vista, to launch a Save XP petition.

Where do I sign?
