Good marketing or just really stupid?

XP is the first Window that really works. It rarely crashes. It doesnt slow down over time.

And XP happened to coincide with the generation of PCs that has enough power to keep everyone but gamers happy.

I really cant see why people would want to upgrade unless its voice activated or something radicle like that.

Windows 2000 pre-dated XP by a long shot, and is a much better OS than Windows XP, IMHO.

Besides, Windows 2000 has better administrative jurisdiction built into it than XP. XP is a terrible replacement for 2k Pro as a business desktop. I can't believe they even tried to pass it off as such, except this IS Microsoft, and they know that what rules the home rules the business.

I swore once that I would never buy XP, and that I would have to swear off Microsoft. I forget now just why I switched from 2k to XP (oh, wait, no I don't - I screwed up my registry by overclocking testing, lost my bootleg copy of Windows 2000 Professional, and was forced to actually buy a copy of an OS :P), but I didn't do it willingly. Vista, I can almost promise, I will not buy. I just hope Linux catches up enough in terms of gaming support that I don't have to ever buy Vista just to play video games on my rig.
