    Quite frankly the bastards should never have stopped supporting XP, it was great - "if it is not broke, why fix it?" -:banghead: ANSWER - because Microsoft are probably the greediest microbes on the Planet, and they only make real money when they launch another new product.......I am using 7, and it is crap compared to XP, and I have heard horror stories on 8, so why would any new products be any different, unless, they at last have a conscience???????...hahahaha,:rolleyes: looks like they skipped 9, or did I miss that birth ?.....because it was worse than 7 and 8 put together perhaps, ...lol..............:biggrin:

    Whilst XP no longer has any Support, it is still a good OS and accepts Updates So my friends just to let you know, I have a Licensed XP Home CD here if anyone wants to Borrow and Install or reinstall:happy: until it it totally crashes and I see no reason just yet why it should I will continue to stay with XP rightly or Wrongly but as Roger said " If it ain't broke why try and Fix it" :thumbsup:

    But don't you need a license key for it to be fully operational? Maybe XP was prior to this online registration crap. Windows 8 crashed two brand new completely stock computers in less than a month (several times) for me. Screw Windows 8.

    Personally, I'll stick with Linux Mint (and Ubuntu). Completely free and it just works.

    Rumors out that it's perhaps the Japanese consider 9 a bad and unlucky number... as in their language the number 9 ... means ("pain" or "distress") and Japan is a huge market! Microsoft perhaps may be considerably catering!

    It would not be unheard of for a business to call the same product by two separate names in different countries. I guess the number 9 doesn't have a very solid "feel" to it like 10 does.
