Microsoft extends Windows XP lifespan through 2011 (Download Squad)

Jun 30th 2009 11:41AM Yeah as an end user, I really don't see any advantage over switching to Vista or W7. To me Vista/W7 have only new GUI and some extra features that can be added to XP separately anyway. That's all. If I'm bored with XP's visual style then it is soooo easy for me to apply new visual styles. There are thousands of visual styles available for xp. I tried my best to use Vista for about 4 months. It worked fine but it was too much demanding on my laptop's resources even after applying SP2 on a clean install. So finally I switched back to XP. My software run smoother, my laptop's cpu is always cool, and XP's user interface is so convenient to use.
