Why should I join the XP Fight Club?
This is the place where XP enthusiasts can come together and show their support for the greatest operating system ever invented. And according to DailyTech.com we still hold 28 percent of the OS market.

That's a lot of freaking computers! We have to stay strong. Beef up our security a little. And stay the course for as long as we can. The Windows XP Holdouts can survive 10 more years if we want.

| At almost 12 percent, the stuborn folks in Ohio are truly Windows XP diehards |
Make a Stand! Fight for our rights! Long Live XP!!!
We don't want to upgrade to Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8. The only reason to upgrade to Windows 7 or 8 is if you are an avid computer gamer. Oh yeah, the other reason is for virus protection. Well, alls you need to do is to set up a serious firewall and run a good anti-virus software program.
If you still use and love XP, please leave a comment and share your story with the rest of us.
If it looks like XP and it smells like XP...

For those who love Windows XP there is a special version of Linux that is catered to those who love the XP interface. It's called Zorin OS. It's free and unlike Windows XP, it gives you regular system updates.

I love XP and intend to keep using it until the POSREADY 2009 updates are discontinued in 2019. What happens after 2019 is something I don't like to think about, yet I know is inevitable. That's right - moving to Linux which is as much a pain in the ass OS as Windows 7.
ReplyDeleteAs far as I am concerned XP Home Edition is relatively simple, configurable and stable, has less overhead, runs faster and is less vulnerable to imperfect hardware. In fact it is like Linux. I just don't feel the need for the more advanced features of Windows7/8 as I am not a gamer and DXVA1 seems to work just as well as DXVA2. The main disadvantage in using XP for me is the declining support from hardware manufacturers and software developers. However whenever an application like Handbrake discontinues XP support you can find a cool alternative that does support XP like ShanaEncoder.
Security under XP is not the big deal that it's detractors make it out to be. You just have to be prepared to be more proactive in securing your PC rather than relying on the inherent security of the OS. I am using a Host Intrusion Prevention system called Pro Security v1.43 available with a patch here: http://ftp.isu.edu.tw/pub/CPatch/security/prosecurity/source/ I monitor outgoing network traffic with Kerio Personal Firewall v2.15.
I suppose I will have to surrender and move to Linux when browsers like Chrome, Firefox, and Opera cease XP support and their last XP version becomes so outdated that it is unuseable. I intend to counter the imminent ending of XP support for Adobe flash using the GreasMonkey plugin Viewtube and WMP. There is even a version suitable for a limited number of porn sites called Viewtube+
