New Xp Wallpapers Biography

Sure, now that we've hit the official Windows XP end of life, all some of us want is just one day more with the OS. (Only Vista now? Oh no!) But that wasn't always the case. Yes, XP never took the blows that Vista has, but there were times when it was touch-and-go. From the first betas of XP, PC Magazine experts saw both good and bad in the OS; it had the stability of Windows 2000 and the gaming ability of ME and 98, but it wasn't quite ready for enterprise or small-business use right out of the gate.
And, as is customary, as more of us got our hands dirty tweaking and configuring the OS—networking and troubleshooting, for example—we encountered snafus of all kinds and many more blue screens than we would have liked.
Minds have changed now, though. More than a year post-Vista, many have found themselves clinging to XP (despite its faults), finding loopholes that will allow its life to continue beyond June 30. How did it come to this? Here are PC Mag's all-out Windows XP highs and lows from the last 8 years:
XP: A Wake Up Call for Windows
(Review; March 30, 2001)
"Windows XP [beta 2] is certainly not perfect, but we did find it surprisingly stable and easy-to-use. We found the new look refreshing… Experienced Windows users, however, will notice that some tasks have gotten easier while others have become more difficult."
Windows XP: Worth the Wait?
(Michael J. Miller; May 8, 2001)
"I've had a chance to run the second beta version of Windows XP over the past few weeks, and I'm glad to report that this is the Microsoft operating system I've been waiting for all these years."
XP: Big Steps for Windows, Small Steps for Office
(J.P. Vellotti; May 8, 2001)
"Microsoft plans for the Professional version…to include features designed for the small-business or corporate user. These include additional networking capabilities, corporate security through domain authorization, group policy support, increased mobile computing support and file management, and support for dual monitors and dual processors."
Windows XP to Rock!
(John C. Dvorak; August 30, 2001)
"I'm not absolutely sure that the entire U.S. economy is going to get cranked up because of Windows XP, but one thing is certain: The product is going to put some life into the ailing PC market and make a difference."
Microsoft Ships Its Biggest OS Upgrade Ever—Early!
(Review; September 3, 2001)
"So should you upgrade your systems? Our answer is a qualified yes. Die-hard DOS gamers and businesses that use a custom DOS-based application will want to think twice… But for the vast majority of users, the added stability of Windows XP should be a real draw. And the host of features are the icing on the cake."
The New Windows: Great Xpectations
(Michael J. Miller; October 30, 2001)
"Windows XP combines Windows 98's and Me's aptitude for running games and legacy hardware with Windows 2000's more stable and manageable kernel. Microsoft is positioning Windows XP Home Edition as its most important consumer upgrade since Windows 95."
The XPerience Continues
(John C. Dvorak; May 13, 2002)
"…when Windows 2000 has problems like the ones I had with Windows XP [networking troubles and repeated blue screens], trying to solve the problems gets much nastier, in my experience."
Teaching Windows XP to Share, Part 1
(Lance Ulanoff; April 26, 2002)
"If I can't figure out how to share Internet access between two PCs using Windows XP (and I have the resources of PC Magazine), then how are the rest of the newbies out there faring?"
Teaching Windows to Share, Part II
(Lance Ulanoff; October 18, 2002)
"I purchased a wireless cable/DSL router for my home…You know that establishing shared online access throughout my home has been a long-term goal for me. Well, I'm pleased to say that I have achieved my goal. So that's it, right? End of column. Not exactly."
The Fog of XP
(Lance Ulanoff; August 6, 2003)
"I fear that my system is a ticking time bomb waiting for the worst possible moment to go blue-screen again. The XP fog has settled in like an unwelcome guest. I wonder if it ever will leave."
Windows XP Outsells Vista
(News; February 15, 2007)
"Windows Vista unit sales decreased 58.9 percent in units compared to Windows XP during their respective launch weeks, while revenue decreased 32.1 percent."
Windows XP SP3 beta
(Review; October 17, 2007)
"There's very little new here, but SP3 increases security and collects all those hundreds of hotfixes you might have been too busy (or cautious) to keep downloading."
Windows XP: Still the One
(Sascha Segan; October 31, 2007)
"We've all got a love-hate relationship with XP, but it's the only PC OS that can satisfy 100 percent of the people, 100 percent of the time."
Microsoft Extends Windows XP Availability
(News; April 3, 2008)
"Microsoft announced on Thursday [April 3, 2008] that it will continue making Windows XP Home Edition available until at least June 2010 on ultra-low-cost PCs (ULCPC), such as the ASUS Eee."
New Life for Windows XP
(Lance Ulanoff; April 4, 2008)
"Recently, there have been many reports about Microsoft extending the life of Windows XP—yet again—in order to support the new ultra-low-cost (ULC) laptops."
Don't Panic: You Can Still Buy Windows XP After June 30
(News; June 24, 2008)
"It's officially official: Windows XP will go the way of the dodo on June 30. But you'll still be able to buy it in a few places, using a loophole that allows sales to continue to original equipment manufacturers, or OEMs."
