I have a LOT of very good utilities that are .COM files and for which there is nothing out there equivalent. #1 on that list is Vern Buerg's LIST!
And just forget Metro - wish it would just go away.
IF 7 worked with .COM apps - it would be ok - it lets me avoid MOST of windoze!
To give you some perspectives to this poll, check out this CNET article: Windows XP won't die without a fight
Why do you think XP is so resilient, even as support is coming to an end?
-- Businesses are the majority of users.
-- People in general just love XP.
-- Windows 7 and 8 are not worthy of upgrading to.
-- People don't like change.
-- Pirated XP versions make up most of those users.
-- If it isn't broken, why fix it?
-- People can't afford to upgrade the OS and hardware at the same time.
-- People have apps that run only on XP.
-- Other reasons. (What do you think?)
