Windows XP turns 10!

Richard Hall - Tuesday, November 01, 2011

Microsoft's most successful operating system turns 10 today!

Celebrating how long an operating system has been in the market is not really what Microsoft intended. As far as they were concerned Windows XP should have been left by the wayside when Windows Vista was released in 2006; but most of us know how sour that tasted.

But here Windows XP still is 10 years on. Microsoft however will be ready to pull the proverbial life support plug in 2014 when all support, Windows Updates or otherwise will cease completely without further negotiation with it's current user base. (edit: Due to concerns voiced from customers on this point, allow me to mention you will be free to continue using Windows XP well after 2014; Microsoft will just pretend it never existed!).

It's ok though, Windows 7 (and I have a feeling Windows 8) is a fantastic operating system and well worth considering a computer upgrade for!

Testimonials

10/10 from: Andy Hawcroft, The Vacuum Doctor, Burswood, received: 24-Mar-2011 :

Richard, the driving force behind Computer Origins has been my "go to" computer geek for about 6 years now. He patiently puts techno-babble into plain English that even a "newbie baby boomer" can understand.

His integrity is impeccable, time keeping is precise & customer service skills are something most other business owners should copy & use in their own businesses.

His shop is neat & tidy & organised and Richard himself is truly one of life's gentlemen. We correspond on technical matters at least once a week on average. Make Computer Origins part of your "go to" team!!

Thanks Richard, "You Rock!!"
