I just read this article:
http://www.techrepublic.com/blog/european-technology/ok-so-stick-with-windows-xp-but-how-big-a-risk-do-you-run/1627?tag=nl.e101&s_cid=e101&ttag=e101
After reading the whole article out, I started wondering what is the best thing I like in Windows XP the most.
It's GUI.
There's
something in common in Windows XP, Samsung TouchWiz or LG Smart TV GUI
(its biggest sense can be seen in Home Dashboard) are EASY and SIMPLE or
CLEAR, English dictionary suggests me to say legible. This, plus the
fact those GUIs colorful in kind of elegant way (to me, some people may
see they're kitch) makes me to stay and use it and enjoy.
I'll
never forget those long hours spent on freshly new installed Windows XP
systems, while working with HTML, JavaScript and PHP pages back in
2012/2013. So modern, user friendly and so cool Windows XP seemed to be
so was the work with tools and apps. On top of that, music being played
in WinAmp was adding a charm to those long evenings and nights over my
computers. In fact, there's kind of sentiment in my generation and older
too - Windows XP was the first one in Windows series which I didn't
have to reinstall at least annually.
And now, well, XP is going to
sunset in 12 months. Pity. Sentiment is there. And just a greatly
simple GUI is something I cannot understand why MS gave up.
