Re: Ok Microsoft I'm Calling You Out!

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

The 'stealth updates" were updating the "Windows Updater" that's all, pure and simple, and blown out of all proportion mainly by the Windows haters/Linux freaks and media that needed something to bite on.

The six month extension is because retailers demanded that XP OEM availability be extended as people still wanted it. (Note it referred to OEM only)

XP still has plenty of time left in its life cycle.

I use both systems quite happily and have no problems with either one.

Another comment. Microsoft was forced to extend their XP sales another 6
months because Vista sales are down. So why not just sabotage XP so Vista
does not look so bad? It makes perfect sense.
