Windows7 is about to become an XP terminator?

The XP era has lasted for eight years, but most people seem to trust WINXP, which has stopped selling, and even the release of vista and win7 failed to shake Winxp's position in the user's mind. So when will win7 summarize the XP era?

As early as August, foreign authoritative media PC World conducted an online survey of users. As a result, more than 8,000 Microsoft fans believe that Windows XP is its most basic car operating system with unparalleled performance and compatibility. The vista takes up too much system resources and is not well compatible with hardware drivers. Another important reason is that users are used to the WINXP system environment.

Users who criticize Windows Vista account for a large portion (62% of respondents are negative about Vista), and 81% of these respondents said they only know Windows Vista. However, most respondents are more open-minded about Windows 7.

In fact, 26% of respondents said they have used Windows 7: 73% of respondents said they support Windows 7, and only 11% of respondents are negative about Windows 7.

In addition, 56% of respondents expressed a desire to upgrade to Windows 7 immediately or eventually. Of the respondents who just heard about Windows 7 (not using Windows 7), 56% of respondents said they support Windows 7, and only 12% of respondents have a negative attitude toward Windows 7.

Of the respondents who did not want to upgrade, 40% of the respondents plan to stick with XP. We have therefore raised the question: When did XP users begin to stick to their rules and ignore their successors (Vista and Windows 7)?

Microsoft discontinued Windows XP on June 30, 2008. On April 14, 2009, mainstream technical support for Windows XP also ended. But Microsoft still allows PC makers to offer downgraded CDs, and XP supporters will install Vista through XP.

Some experts predict that Windows 7 computers sold by manufacturers can be downgraded to XP within 18 months after Windows 7 is released (or before Windows 7 SP1 is released). In other words, Windows 7 users can downgrade to XP by April 22, 2011.

On April 8, 2014, Microsoft will end all technical support and security patches for Windows XP. By then, Windows XP will be completely retired. Of course, there will be many XP users on April 9, 2014, so don't be surprised.
