Why you would stick to Windows XP and not upgrade to Windows 7

[Emil]

In my eyes from used it during a year it seems like this version of Windows has much of the same "Microsoft" influences like everyone have been used to even in XP.

Like always Microsoft dealing with one serious big problem as they had through more than 10 years back in time vs. their users.

Why does Microsoft have the need for their "Knowledge Base"?

It's simple, cause they decided to make OS with bad manuals.
Just see take a look on much of the updates..they doesn't describe unless you seach for the kb number.

For Microsoft this is no issue and in the same time this protect their own interest in let things stay hidden in how their products has been created.
And sure, alot of companies would certainly do the same in prevent other companies from stealing similar ideas in how to build and selling similar products. Just look around you, why has it become popular for people to visit technoblogs, forums and so on? Yes, and we all had moments when we couldn't find the answer for our problems without search on internet for the solution.

And what really sucks is that Microsoft's behavor working like a virus in the subject of "Not have to share good manuals/support of our own product"
Today new companies take advantage from this and it is quite much in common that many don't want to make good helpfiles just because it's better experienced "users" helping other users in solve their problems.

For companies who make software they first of all save money on this.
Secondly, their architecture stays untouched in secret as long as possible.
Nobody knows how things works

Windows 7 are made for look good to sell good, thats my own final verdict.

Every day I'm using XP Pro together with Windows 7 and I can't see how Windows 7 can make everything better and more effective from the first week for an average user when I compare these two OS. First of all this new one comes with a big bunch of running installed services & processes & new features and lot of new things that people can't bring into use all this new stuff right away from the first month and neither having all this under control in manage it.

It's easy to see the consequence from all this right now in the mailbox.
Big waves of spam and malware/virus because many of this new users who recently installed Windows 7 doesn't have their computers under full control when they click on every link they see on Facebook Twitter or open e-mails.
And the speed they were bragging about in Windows 7...Maybe some people might see it after they know how to manage it and optimize everything.
Only for advanced users & geeks
