No, Windows XP does not need to be "saved"
WinInfo | at | by Mike
Arguably, we need to be saved from XP. Or at least from the hermitic Luddites that don't want computing to advance past 2001: In a bald PR move, InfoWorld has launched a "Save XP" campaign, aimed ostensibly at convincing Microsoft not to retire its aging previous Windows version this year as planned. So far 30,000 people (read: Gleeful Mac and Linux users) have signed the petition, and while I'm sure at least some of them mean well, the rest need to get a life. Vista is vastly superior to XP and most of its so-called problems are really the fault of lazy third part developers who didn't get their applications and hardware compatible in a timely manner. Keeping XP rolling long would just make this problem even worse.
