believes that the sheer sluggishness in performance of Windows XP computers is a good enough reason to upgrade:
“The reality is that Windows XP is 13 years old and four generations behind. As a result, the operating system suffers from real technical limitations compared to say, Windows 8. Performance is now sluggish at best, as is the start-up, and modern devices will find it difficult to use.”Fact is that business users, some business users, will still be okay with the slowness — as long as it eases them with troubles of having to rewrite or renew their custom software applications, hardware devices, and whatnot. But really, for most homes users the time to retire the fan-favorite Windows XP is here and now.]]>
Hasn’t it been “sluggish” for over 5 years? I know when I switched it was sluggish compared to the newer OS. I get what they’re doing, I just think they’re a little late to the party. And that’s not to take away anything from a great OS, but it is old.
It is sad when people cling to the past as if its going to save them from the future. I am in the enterprise industry and people still cling to the past because they are too lazy to fix what they need to fix to bring about the future or they don’t want to spend the money or they are too lazy too learn. Busy is just an excuse… change is inevitable!
