Windows XP Is Still Significant

I would say Windows XP is the finest operating system in term of ease of use for normal users that are already familiar with Microsoft operating system. Maybe best is not the exact word that best describe Windows XP but it’s rarely hang or made any problems compared to its predecessors. Windows Vista improvements may make it better than Windows XP but that improvements are not significant to end users like me. Okay maybe the Ready Boost and Bit Locker are interesting features indeed. Other reasons will be that Vista need high end machine; 2 GB of RAM should be the minimum. If you have 512 MB of RAM maybe you should dismiss your intention to upgrade. Anyway RAMs are cheaper nowadays and because of this Windows XP still the first choice for operating system based on Windows compared to Vista and no wonder Microsoft is tracking all the illegal copies of these Windows XP through their WGA program.

“Microsoft has stopped selling Win XP in the market, so you have to wonder why it is spending time and money to take down users of pirated copies of this OS,” said a PC user, who asked for anonymity. “Why isn’t it also targeting users who have pirated copies of Windows Vista?”

“So if I’m using a pirated copy of Vista at this time, I won’t be hassled? Got to wonder about that.”

Why Windows Will Still Reigns In Home User Segment

I think Windows is better in term of ease of use compared to Linux but I am not saying that Linux is too far difficult to use as most Linux distribution and its environment like Gnome and KDE is catching up with Windows interface nowadays and some of them is better than Windows. However there is only one area that makes Linux is difficult to use for novice user.

The only problem in Linux is the application installation process. Installation is straight to the point with Windows. Just clicked the executable file and then click next and lastly finish. There you go; your software has been installed. In Linux there are many different ways to install an application whether through RPM, source files, YUM and others. I will not explain what the heck are they about but I am pretty sure without Google or manual, you will not succeed in installing the application. The installation steps are vital because without it you cannot install your movie codec, your printer driver or maybe your WiFi driver. Not knowing these steps will cumbersome to you and lastly you will be feeling fed up and will continue to use Windows. That is the area that Linux is lacking off.
