[quote:Anonymous Coward 4039122:MV8xNjgyNzA1XzI3ODEwMzkwXzcyNEI2Nzc3] I'll tell you what microsoft is afraid of: There are tons of advanced software for XP, tips and tricks, patches, hacks, and more stuff of the sort that allows you to obtain nearly 100% control over the entire system. You can customize it down to the most obscure settings and files that microsoft wished that users would never find. Not only that, but activating XP with hacks is incredibly easy, although it doesn't matter anymore. In XP you can use hacks to disable System File Checker. You can delete tons of useless files and applications and make your OS drive only 300 mb or less. And there are so many obscure third-party applications that allow you to log and view all system events, access linux partitions, automate mouse clicks and keyboard events. I love Sandboxie, Total Uninstaller, etc. Are these in 7? Not sure. XP still has the biggest software base, and the highest compatibility with older apps. Anything you can think of, there is an app for it. You can do anything. Now, I'm not willing to go through the trouble of finding the same power apps or compatible to run in 7. Why would I lose so much time? Besides, obviously 7 has even more hidden stuff, superfluous stuff and changed stuff so that users are again in the dark about how the system works. THIS is the reason they force us to change OS every few years: they try to SHUT OFF the lights (control) of power users and hackers so that they have to learn an entire new system. No wonder microsoft is so pathetic with all this appeal to home users: "hey look how xp is old. 7 is much better and trendy." Well, please define "better" sir. For me what makes an OS better is how much its legs are open for me to insert my control-freakish member. [/quote]

I don't know about the rest of you, but I play on running Windows XP until I die!
