    I read this on /. I just laughed. It’s insane. I can see people getting confused already.

    Yeah me! I’m not sure if I want to buy a $5000 OS system.

    I’d just pirate it. <_<

    But then again, I see no reason to upgrade. XP serves its purpose extremely well. Sure, it’s Windows, but it isn’t a crash fest anymore, and I’m glad. It runs my games. Everything just works. I don’t have to deal with Internet Explorer, Firefox wins there. The Explorer shell? Nope. Blackbox proves victorious.

    If you were to come to my computer and look at my desktop, you probably wouldn’t even know it’s Windows. My WinAmp skins looks vaguely XMMSish. I use GAIM as my IM client. Firefox is skinned. Even XP no longer has that nasty Fisher Price look, nor does it have the old Win98 look. Even the systray icons have been redone. It’s perfect. There is no reason for me to upgrade.

    Heck, aren’t they porting Avalon and Monad to XP? I think they just shot themselves in the foot in regards to Vista. No one’s really gonna bother upgrading.

    Consumer products will be developed supporting the Vista standards after the year of 2006 — if you keep on using XP, you aren’t going to get many new programs.
