About LinkBacksSo something like 90% of businesses worldwide still use Windows XP, but its end of life is 2013. End of life, so Microsoft will stop "supporting" XP, well at that point do you think we'll see a mass migration to Windows (by 2013) 8 or 9 or whatever? I mean XP will get viruses before and after the EOL, it's not like supporting XP is doing anything for us....
And I have W7 but I'm thinking about going back to XP, anyone else on the fence with that? If only 7 looked ugly lol
As for you all that have no idea what I'm talking about, I would like to know if you're still on XP or if you've upgraded to Vista or 7?

02-21-2011 04:54 AMI recently got a new PC at home that is running Windows 7 while at work we use XP. It was a pretty big learning curve IMO, but the more I played with 7 the more I liked it! Now I keep busting the IT guys b**ls trying to get him to upgrade (at least mine anyway
)

02-21-2011 05:00 AMYeah, I ran Ubuntu for a bit and really enjoyed it. But, between knowing nothing about Linux and the fact that I use paint.net for theming I went back to windows. If I wasn't obsessed with theming I would def give it another shot Originally Posted by qkpony

02-21-2011 05:16 AMYes it is free. Have you looked for an alternative for your theme software I use Photoshop a lot and gimp is a super free alternative. Just my 2¢ fyi I loaded Ubuntu 10.10 on my 53 year old mothers laptop and she loves it.
