7 Reasons to stick with Windows XP

Windows 7 is here! Huzzah! But wait, still rocking Windows XP, you want to think twice before passing it. Here are a few reasons, one of the players stick with the old system.

1. Updating will be a huge pain
OS can be installed with just a pop album, and you realize that right? XP from your data, format the hard disk to store all, a version of Windows 7 clean install and again, all your old programs and the Old Faithful re-assuming you meet the requirements of the system. Sounds delicious!

2. Software investment
How much do you need this program installed? All you need to install them again. Do you have your installation disks available? And I hope you do not miss the CD Keys! I still have all your downloaded installer executable? Redownloading or want to find? This is what you need to do. Well as a new program and so far, almost all new software, you will realize that it is still compatible with XP, is not it?

3. Most of what you use your computer for doesn't need an upgrade
What do you have on your computer? Surf the Internet, may use the office programs? I put a body on top of Windows XP is here and assume that such manipulation functions very well for you. So, why upgrade? For shiny new aesthetics? For an amateur in the taskbar? 22 devices to juggle? You do not need.

4. It's expensive
Do you have $ 120 + to burn? So how much does it cost to upgrade to use the $ 30 discount because fewer college-kid. Why not put that money or use savings to pay the invoice as a credit card?

5. You can wait for SP1
Every OS has bugs when it first came out, although it is not shitshow 7 is Vista, it's probably the patch for the masses to get their hands once. You will not receive bonus points for being one of the beginning of the Procedures. Why do not you decided to play safe and if you update, the Service Pack 1?

6. Microsoft will keep supporting XP for a while
People (including you) are still tons of using XP, and will continue to predict the future. For this reason, Microsoft has no choice but to continue the support, security patches and new releases. You do not need to be updated in order to achieve these benefits.

7. You'll buy a new computer eventually
You do not have your computer forever, especially if you buy pre-loaded with Windows XP long enough to come. Install a new OS is the most dangerous and frustrating since you can do with your computer, it might take you until you buy a new one. Windows 7 will be pre-installed on a clean disk, allowing you to start from scratch.

If you're running Vista, however, all the resources you need to upgrade. How crazy are you?
