Should you give up Windows XP using Windows 7?

In the dark days of Vista, Windows XP still has many loyal users, and XP has been more popular than ever since the 8 years of WinXP release.

But the emergence of Windows 7 illustrates the end of an era. So can Windows 7 be accepted by XP's loyal users?

In the dark days of Vista, Windows XP still has many loyal users, but the emergence of Windows 7 illustrates the end of an era.

Most PC users still don't use the Vista operating system. Eight years after Vista was released, Windows XP is more popular than ever.

So will Windows 7 make XP's loyal users accept it? In August, we conducted an online survey with more than 8,000 participants. The results show that XP is their preferred operating system. The first three reasons why they didn't upgrade to Vista were: XP feels more comfortable to use; Vista doesn't have the features that let them upgrade; drivers and compatibility issues.

People who have used Vista generally have "Vista phobia" (62% of respondents have a negative attitude towards Vista). But most respondents have an open attitude towards Windows 7.

In fact, 26% of respondents have used Windows 7 and are very enthusiastic about it. 73% of respondents said they were more positive about Windows 7, while only 11% held the opposite opinion. 56% of people plan to use Windows 7 right away or eventually.

However, there are also a small number of people who do not intend to upgrade to Windows 7. 40% of them plan to continue using XP. This raises another interesting question: When is it impossible to stick to XP and then use Windows7?

It is said that this date has already been determined. Microsoft stopped working on XP on June 30, 2008, and will suspend its technical support until April 14, 2009, but XP's download and upgrade continued until April 22, 2011.

The final death deadline for Windows XP is set to April 8, 2014. Since then, Microsoft said it will no longer accept technical support consulting and will not release security plugins. Of course, this does not mean that no one will continue to use XP afterwards, but the user is responsible for it. Defenders of Windows XP, you should pay attention!
