Independence Day waving goodbye to the past

It's a fact: beginning this week, on June 30th, Windows XP, as a commercial product, has come to an end, after Microsoft made a tough choice. I personally won't miss an operating system that I used, struggled with, learned with and finally left, in a process that lasted about six years. Enough. And the main reason to leave that OS was not exactly under-perfomance, but the mere fact that I discovered something even better: Vista (hesitantly at the beginning, just because I was, like many people, badly influenced by rumors and misinformed reviewers' comments). Once you know better, you will never go back. Guaranteed. Like everything else in life. For more information, go to the source: Get the facts about Windows Vista, the future of Windows XP and so many relevant topics. Microsoft has promised to support Windows XP until 2014 (!), which is tantamount to having offered support to Windows 3.1 until 2004.
