:burnout:
what do you mean (except in the XP era).?
What I meant was back around 4 to 5 years ago, XP was at the top of their game, their prime. Although the majority of Windows users are still using XP, it's fading, and fading fast. Too, XP is about to fall into the phase where you get only security updates and patches. No more service packs, no new features, any support you can get will be paid support. By this time next year, you'll see where I'm coming from.
Microsoft beta research extensively,
And XP will hold its own against windows 7.
"Us", are those who are using and enjoying Windows 7, and are contributing members of this forum. Don't bother taking my word for it, but XP WILL be knocked to the #2 slot, in the not too distant future. Sure, there are those who are having problems, but the majority of those seeking help are not bashing Windows 7. We join the forum, post whatever questions or concerns we have, most are thankful. Some stays, becoming contributing members, some comes and goes. Your posts are becoming more and more arrogant, and are becoming a distraction to this forum. You like XP and Win 2K, take them and use them, and when you cannot get any more support for them, buy yourself a new computer with whatever Windows version is in place at that time. You have at least four years, so start putting some money up for it, and stop being a jerk around here.
I'm thinking it will be at least two years before a release date will be discussed. Windows 7 is still young and will have a few years on its belt before a new OS is to be released.
catilley1092 - you sure told that MonsterKFX dude off! Thanks
He certainly has issues; hope he's not married.
When I'm saying "we" or "us", I'm referring to the happy Windows 7 users family. Obviously, those of us who are contributing members here are happy with the OS. This is a Windows 7 forum, and although we discuss other OS's at times, 7 is our main one. By no means, do I consider any OS human, but I see every day the rise of Windows 7, and it's like we're a team on a roll. I read various tech reports almost daily, and the sales figures, reports, feedback and overall customer satisfaction proves that. And that makes me feel good, being on the side with momentum behind it. Honestly, who wants to be with the team on a downslide?catilley1092 - you sure told that MonsterKFX dude off! Thanks
When you refer to the operating systems as "we" and "us" - Windows 7 and "they" Windows XP... you anthropomorphize the software, treating it as if it were human or with human-like qualities. Amazing how us humans do that sometimes.
I just found it humorous is all, no issues. I see what you mean though, number of users of 7 versus XP or Vista.
The rate at which Windows 7 is selling and being adopted is astronomical. In three short months over 90 million copies sold! Outselling any previous version of Windows, Linux or MAC ever!
Microsoft beta research extensively,
Windows 7 might be in place but to what extent, have you read any of the problems on this forum alone, or do you just go blindly through life. And windows 8 has been announced because 7 is not up to par.
Yes i would think it will be two years as it would also not make economic sense pushing out Windows 8 soon after Windows 7.I'm thinking it will be at least two years before a release date will be discussed. Windows 7 is still young and will have a few years on its belt before a new OS is to be released.
PS - My personal opinion
