XP curtain call, Vista is on the top, Microsoft recruits users to shell

Microsoft will stop supporting Windows XP in the near future. Out, the majority of Microsoft fans are extremely angry. The intention is obvious, the curtain call of windows xp is nothing more than to remove all obstacles for the upper position of Vista. But in fact, a considerable part of people do not like to change the already used blue sky and white clouds interface into a flashy aero glass effect. Microsoft's persistence is putting itself in the air.

Recently, Forrester Research conducted an analysis of Windows market share, pointing out that in North America and Europe, Windows Vista, which was released two years ago, only accounted for less than 10% of the market. This fact shows that for many IT professionals, the impact of XP's curtain call is enormous. According to a Microsoft-sponsored website, on April 14, 2009, Microsoft will terminate the "mainstream support" for XP, and "extended support" will continue until 2014, which means that Microsoft will be In the next 5 years, users will continue to provide XP security updates and payment support. The sponsorship website stated that non-security fixes, policy statements, design changes, feature requests, and free incident support will be terminated with the arrival of April 14. Therefore, because XP still dominates the installation of enterprises, it is not surprising that some IT professionals are very dissatisfied with Microsoft's approach. Mitch Wheat, software developer at Beacon Technologies in Paest, Australia, said: "Microsoft should continue to support XP until an operating system that can replace XP status appears. ” For many users, Vista is clearly not the operating system that can replace XP. Joe Galgano, who runs computer maintenance and network troubleshooting at Dover, Del, said: "Microsoft's only correct approach is to cancel support for Windows XP when Windows 7 can really replace Windows XP. & nbsp; Lake Geneva, Wis Edward Mumby said: "Windows Vista operating system is too unreliable, and Windows 7 has been proven to be "stable, secure". At present, Microsoft's most sensible approach is to use Windows XP as a strong backing for Windows 7. If not, it will push the original Windows users to the competitors. ” However, some users are not bothered by Microsoft's events as mainstream support for XP. Robert Elliott, senior product salesperson at Microsoft's OEM client, said: "I think it's wise to go to XP's "mainstream support", XP's age is too big. Compared with XP, Vista has better stability, security and mobility. Therefore, at the beginning of Vista, I have been using the Vista operating system and it feels great to use. ”
