Microsoft’s Windows Of Opportunity

Read Time:1 Minute, 20 Second

Windows-8-features

So, Windows XP is no more – well it is no more as far as Microsoft are concerned. ‘Never mind’ say Microsoft, ‘just buy Windows 8 or a new computer. What’s the problem?’

The problem is, you money grabbing bastards, you are trying to force people who are quite happy with their XP system to upgrade thereby spending their hard earned with you when, if you were even remotely decent, you would just introduce Windows 8 whilst catering for your customers who have XP and, quite possibly, have been spending money with you for years with earlier Windows programmes.

Now don’t get me wrong. I’ve no problem with Microsoft improving their products. When Vista appeared I ignored it, thankfully, as anyone I know who jumped on that particular bandwagon wished they hadn’t. It didn’t matter. XP was still supported anyway. I’m certainly not very au fait with technology but anything XP lacked through not being compatible with Vista never caused me any concerns.

It doesn’t really matter if there are innovations on Windows 8 that XP can’t handle. Those with XP just live with the lack of whatever it is, but to virtually blackmail people into upgrading at some financial cost to them is immoral and unethical.

‘Your security will be compromised’ say Microsoft thereby frightening us thickies with the thought that somewhere out there is a hacker just waiting to wipe our computers and see where we’ve been on all those porn – I mean educational sites.

Oh. Yes. Sorry. Just remembered. Microsoft is a multi-billion dollar business.

Pardon me for expecting them to care less.
