Guest Ross Posted October 21, 2008 Posted October 21, 2008 XP is so much better than Vista. Why don't Microsoft just scrap the whole Vista fiasco and stay with XP? IMHO XP is the best OS on the market. Superior to all others. All replies welcome.

I personally agree that XP trumps Vista, but this is a group for technical issues, and not a direct line to Microsoft - nor is it a forum for debating "My OS can beat up your OS." Nobody here is likely to know what Microsoft has planned, and posts like yours just invite flamewars. Stick to specific technical questions :)

First of all, I disagree with you, but that's not why I'm replying. My point here is that this is a newsgroup for the purpose of providing help for people with XP problems.

When MS discontinues an OS and my existing peripherals and possibly software won't work with the replacement it is a problem, regardless of whether stating same is appropriate or not for this group (and about which I care very little).

It's not a place to rant (fortunately, there are a couple hundred alt groups for that). MS has already started murmuring that they may replace their usenet servers with hideous web fora, which will be more prone to moderation & censorship. Nobody wants that, I suspect. So let's keep it kosher. Naturally, based on your own post, you're clearly aware that as you disliked my post, your best course of action was to have simply ignored it.
Guest WindPipe Posted October 22, 2008 Posted October 22, 2008 Re: XP vs Vista Ross, Remove Vista ASAP and install Windows XP. This should relieve the need to post such a discussion topic. Post back if you require any assistance for installing Windows XP Home, Professional , or Media Centre, especially if you wish to install SP3 and Internet Explorer 7. Though it comes of no further assistance to you, XP's superiority will be surpassed by, yet another Microsoft operating system. - WindPipe "Ross" <Ross@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:722E63EB-BCBB-45A2-9091-F0A0FD4D7353@microsoft.com... > XP is so much better than Vista.

MS has > already started murmuring that they may replace their usenet servers with > hideous web fora, which will be more prone to moderation & censorship. > Nobody wants that, I suspect. So let's keep it kosher. Take a gander at Vista General and you will realize that MS will replace their Usenet servers with forums. MS already moderates and censors their servers but they can't do a whole lot about other servers. With MS' penchant for control, FUD and censorship, it's only a matter of time before they nuke their Usenet servers. Alias
