[citation][nom]back_by_demand[/nom]People have such short memories, there is always a hardcore of people who say they will never upgrade from the previous version of Windows, even though there are obvious benefits once the new version has been released.Windows 7, people say XP gives everything they want?How about native DVD playback, drag and drop DVD burning, homegroup, remote streaming.Before you say "well XP can do that" - no it doesn't, the additional prgrams you have installed do that, which unless you are a frequent flyer on dodgy torrent sites will cost extra money, certainly more than the cost of upgrading to Windows 7 where all that stuff is included at the start and doesn't add to the bloat of installing all that extra crap.[/citation]
Most people who want to do those things on XP have already purchased those add on programs and are using them now. How would a frivolous upgrade save them money, again?
If you don't have a need for DX11 graphics or more than 4 GB of RAM, XP still works just fine.
