Win XP is still the biggest

Postby viking60 » 04 Aug 2012, 00:32

Windows XP is still the most used Windows. It might be because networking and communication with Linux servers works better there than with Win7.Or Maybe Win 7 is to expensive? Or it could just be that there is no reason to change what works...

I agree! I think people should stick to their XP until the networking part with Linux servers (The server standard!) gets equally good in Win7.

IMHO the best OS ever came out from the bowels of MS is Win2K Professional.

Never seen an OS from MS that worked so well.
