Windows XP's Days are Really Numbered Now

My bad LOL....

 

So XP enters extended support meaning security fixes will be available for 5 more years at minimum. No rush to get rid of it yet.

Personally I have had no problems with Vista on my laptop. I run Ubuntu on my desktop but never seem to use it since I started driving. Ubuntu is getting almost as bloated as Microsoft OS's it seems.

Anyway, there's many non destructive ways to try out Linux. Live CD's, virtual machines such as vmware, virtual box etc., or installs into vitual partitions. Of course they don't run as well as a proper install. Distro Watch is a great place to find info on all the distros.

You can always run Linux as the main OS and run XP in virtual box, vmware etc. as a way to run the windows software on Linux.

 

you can get an adblocker for firefox if that is only reason you use ie.i hate ie.

 

Yeh...but I haven't been able to steal it yet. I don't pay for software, other than my anti-virus.

 

So, was it an unsigned driver issue?? LOL

 

Well you paid for 1 more than I did! In fact, I'm sitting here playing with Quickbooks premier, Peachtree Complete Accounting, PCMiler, and CoPilot 10 live trying to figure out a good OTR combo...and haven't even hit the road yet lol.. (isohunt was good to me today)

Ok well I did pay for PGP whole disk encryption.
