Same here. To date, every new version of the ‘doze OS has consistently failed to prove any real improvement over any I already have.
I have never seen a new version that 1) runs faster, 2) is more stable, 3) requires less memory, or 4) has a smaller footprint (takes up less space on the drive).
My programs already work quite well on the current ‘doze platform that they require, and I have no plans on purchasing a questionable “upgrade” that not only requires more money be spent on the new OS but that usually breaks most of the previously-installed programs I need, with the demand just down the road to also purchase newer versions that are compatible with it, with the understanding that if I do not then eventually the programs I currently use will not function in the newest version.
Pretty sure I’ll pass on the “upgrade” offering.
well I have a lot of expensive old music software and hardware invested in XP that won’t port. What I had planned to do was buy a new Win 8 PC for surfin and relegade the XP to off-the-net music stuff. however I don’t like Win 8 that much so I keep deferring buying a new PC. Plus what I have still works fine and it is a hassle to change to a new PC etc
Interested in others’ opinions though
I’m “graduating” from XP to Win 7 this weekend.
Not because I want to, but only because my new CAD program won’t run on XP.
Dammit.
