I just don't understand why they threw away the best, most stable and easily useable platform they ever produced.

Windows XP should, if they've any sense (which I doubt), form the foundation of Windows 9, but of course it won't.

They don't have anybody there with the intelligence to know, and the humility to admit that they made a huge faux pas.

Upgrading XP and adding touch screen as an option, for the few who would want it, was the way to go and still is.

I want to use my PC as a PC, without having to spend half my time cleaning the fingermarks off the screen.

I want to choose how I group my files, folders and programs, not have some geek in the USA tell me where HE has put them.

Users of tablets, palms and smart phones could still have the more usable (for them)touch screen, but it's an unnecessary distraction on a PC or a laptop, IMHO!

YMMV, and if so, good luck with working out how to perform simple housekeeping tasks that take me a few seconds to find and complete.

Windows 9? When XP goes so do I,........TO LINUX!
