    I Don't want to use XP anymore

    When I go to work or work on my family's computers, I find myself wishing XP would die. That may sound harsh, but it has lived a good long life. Maybe saying I wish XP would pass away of old age sounds better. Vista's small improvements like "search in the start bar" and improved UI make using the PC a better experience. Vista has several "little things" that have made XP not so good anymore. I find working on XP to be more like Windows 95 or 98. I wish they would announce the end of XP sooner rather than later. Does anyone else have to suffer with XP at work?

    i didnt like using it on my bro's pc so i upgraded that too. Simply trying to connect to a network to use file sharing is so much hassle compared to vista.

    I was just at work trying to tell someone over the phone how to find a file in XP. It took 20 minutes. If he had Vista he could have just pushed start and typed it! Why do people hate Vista? I don't get it.

    overall im very staisfied with the vista platform, it is a newer OS that we just need to learn a little more about. I found the tutorials section very useful to understand core chemistry of vista. Check it out for some great info!!

    I hear and I forget, I see and I remember, I do and I understand.....

    So true....one of the great 'quotes' of Confuscus. When I reflect back on how I taught my Self to use and understand the workings of the computer and software! Having had a computer lobbed on my desk whilst recovering from a serious illness, could not even manipulate the mouse as my family stood behind me in mirth at my awkward attempts. From that day I would type in 'tutorial on (whatever)' then clicked search 'go', printed each one out and filed them in a folder afterwhich would follow the tutorial instructions step by step. By seeing each step unfold it enabled me to believe in what I was doing. By the time I had 'seen' and 'done' each step slowly & meticulously I could surely understand fully giving me just reason to cheer at the final results. Not bad going for a Senior+ now up to my 8th book title. Success! No time to get bored for me! Good luck to all who try and 'do' rather than just talk or think about it!

    Re: I Don't want to use XP anymore

    and i also agree franscesco22, i thenk that vista is an exploited sytem that many are scared to/or reluctant to take the leap into the new OS. Anyone who is first running vista should take a couple of days running through the tutorials on this website to really learn how to harness the power within vista. Anyone who says vista is a piece of dhit did not even bother to understand the system!!
