Resurrected Computer + Windows XP Service Pack 3

22 08 2008

Writing just after resurrecting my laptop from the dead. Nasty virus!

I’ve decided to download and install the latest Service Pack 3 for XP not because it is much of an update for Windows XP, but it does addresses a few security loopholes in XP. I’ve always been on Service Pack 2. Not that it will prevent me from getting viruses again, but it’s more to sooth myself and for my peace of mind. After all, Microsoft has decided not to update Windows XP anymore in the future beyond Windows XP Service Pack 3 (*sobs*)

I am not a very big fan of Windows Vista, if at all, despite being a keen follower of Windows. I’ve used Windows 95, 98, Millenium Edition (which didn’t last long in the market at all :) ), Windows 2000 in the past but I’ve never seen an update to Windows which received such bad responses. When Vista was out, the crowd was obviously not keen to upgrade and the catch-up to update to the newest Vista was lagging behind, far beyond Microsoft’s expectations. Hence the killing of XP (well that’s quite obvious isn’t it :)).

I’ve always loved XP. In my opinion, it is the best Windows I’ve ever used and it will always be. I’ve decided that this will be the last Windows I’ll ever use! I will be switching over to the other side pretty soon :)

As for now, I’m really glad that my laptop is up and running again on XP. It has gone through so much!!!!
