Win Xp is still a good and stable OS for most people, but yes, Win 7 is, by far, way better. |

I'm not saying that it is a bad OS at all, except for the many security holes in it....
I'm saying that its an outdated OS that is on its way out the door. By using it with any current technology you are bottle-necking yourself in both the hardware and software departments. There will be a time when your game and program choices will become extremely limited as the world moves on with out you.

Guess I should be glad I'm not almost everybody, I would shoot myself if I ever went back to dial up what with all the pages I usually have up at any given time, netflix streaming, downloads, and any online gaming that may be going on. Hell even my phone can download faster than 56k. I couldn't imagine what life would be like trying to go to Jita or joining a fleet op. |

About Office...
...Seriously, though, Office 2K works well enough for Spreadsheets Online, and my business rarely spreadsheets. When we do, it's inevitably in Google Apps for the multiuser goodness. |

Win7 and XP on various boxes.
And after using both for about a year I still haven't found any single reason to upgrade the XP ones (couldn't care less for DX11).
Haven't found one single piece of software that doesn't work on XP, but a few that doesn't work on 7.
But just about to upgrade the 7 to 8, so maybe I'll sing another tune in a couple of months. CCP Eterne: Silly player, ALL devs are evil.

This is the worst advise you can give people. If UAC is bothering you you'd be better off doing something usefull, like a Virus Scan, or Check the settings to see why it's going apeshit on you. |

If UAC is bothering you, something is wrong GÇö most likely, it's just the software you're trying to run being a piece of incompetenly-coded dung, but it could also be broken and in need of some fixing. There is no reason for any normal software to ever trigger UAC unless you're trying to do something to the system that you should be careful about doing (in which case UAC being triggered is a good thing).
The only problem with UAC is bad programmers who still believe that living in an all-root (that's all-administrator for you silly people) environment is a good thing and something that can always be assumed and who are in dire need of updating their coding principles. Vote Malcanis for CSM8. |

people complaining about UAC are usually the same people that don't like linux because you have to manually enter your su password every time you want to change some crucial system settings or (un)install software. That kind of person should not use a computer anyway :o |

Lets face it CCP isn't dragging their feet because such a large base uses XP still. If they released a new version tomorrow that required 7 or higher 99.5% of the user base would be taking their happy asses to Best Buy to pickup an OS upgrade. There is a VERY small percentage of users that use XP still because they HAVE to. If they think they have to they just haven't done enough current research either. I am not saying there aren't exceptions obviously but by and large that is fact.
Chances are said people that REQUIRE to be on XP also have newer gaming system anyway. People don't upgrade because they aren't forced to. The same damn reason miners don't tank. When something happens though and CODE. ***** on their day you can be damn sure they will come out with DCU's instead of MLU's. |

Without any opinion on the rest of the thread., have an interesting factoid.
In terms of release gaps.
Windows XP is to Windows 7
As Windows XP is to Windows 3.1

Got a question. Does windows 7 have the ability to be a tech geek like xp does? I love the control and complexity of XP. Saw vista and hated it. worried 7 and 8 are even more simplistic "I swear there are more people complaining over "nullsecers complaining" then actual nullsec people complaining." |

To explain what UAC does, for the layman:
Running stuff as an Adminstrator is a bad idea, unless it /needs/ be run as an admin. If it's compromised in some fashion, it could seriously screw up your computer.
UAC takes your admin account and creates another one without Admin Privileges. You run most of your software using this account. So when something needs admin privs, it has to ask for them, rather than just messing with stuff without your permission.
For most people, you shouldn't see a UAC prompt, for the vast majority of the time. If you are, your software is doing something it probably doesn't need to, and should probably be updated to a later version, or replaced with something decent.
You pay for significantly better security, with a little infrequent annoyance. FuzzWork Enterprises http://www.fuzzwork.co.uk/ Blueprint calculator, invention chance calculator, isk/m3 Ore chart-á and other 'useful' utilities.As well as mysql and CSV/XLS conversions of the Static Data Extract. |

Saw vista and hated it. worried 7 and 8 are even more simplistic The front end is simplistic. The underlying OS has a phenomenal number of settings and management software that the average user will never see.
As a side note, XP support was only extended because a huge number of commercial customers still use it (Hospitals, Defence, Government Departments, Schools, Universities). It really had nothing to do with the home user. Hell, we're still being asked by our HR department where I work to migrate ancient legacy DOS based software into our brand new SAP HRMS platform |

The fact that you're preventing everyone from having tessellation is a pretty big reason, as is not having access to updates for your OS and various other pieces of software like browsers, etc.
