I still remember when Windows XP was considered as one of the best Windows operating systems. It was launched with a rock solid combination of stunning looks and brilliant performance. Even the launch of Windows Vista had very less effect on the popularity of Windows XP.

And lately a lot of Windows XP themes have been developed that can help you easily incorporate the Windows 7 look into your Windows XP.

Isn’t it ironic how after years since the XP Service Pack 3 (SP3) was released by Windows, people are still holding on to the old XP Service Pack 2 (SP2)?
Thankfully on July 13 — Microsoft is finally going to pull the plug for those users who have over-enjoyed the Windows XP SP2 and Windows 2000 Professional.
It is very clear why Windows 2000 Professional should be stopped: after providing support for this operating system for the last ten years, shouldn’t people have had enough? I’d say stop it buddies! Yea, right now! Continue reading…
One common denominator among Windows 7 users is their expressed difficulty with its control panel. To date, forums are filled with posts from users of the new version saying the posed problem makes them want to go back to their old, reliable Windows XP version. Of course, apart from the seemingly taxing use of control panel, there’s another litany of woes with the Windows 7, particularly for those who are used to the older version.
For most of these users, the classic control panel of the latest version makes them miss the Vista where, apart from being available in this version, it comes most accessible and user-friendly. So now, it’s all about shifting back to the not-so-new but highly dependable versions. Continue reading…
I was tempted to try out Windows 7, and who’d have guessed the compatibility issues was a bonus with the OS. I had to dig my way through many web results only to find out that Vuze client for Windows 7 was unavailable. Gotta love vuze for its video conversion.
