Windows XP may be a 7 year old operating system but it is still widely used, and often preferred, to Windows Vista. However, Microsoft have still decided that they will cease all sales of the OS (Operating System) on June 30th and officially stop support sometime after this date.

While it is inevitable that Windows users will have to upgrade sooner or later, XP has been on the whole a user friendly, compatible OS that has remained incredibly versatile for it’s age. In my opinion, Microsoft should continue to sell Windows XP for users that prefer it, but put emphasis on selling Windows Vista and preloading most systems with it, just as it is doing at the moment.

If you agree, then sign the Save XP petition at InfoWorld!

I was just looking around the Prime Minister’s petition site earlier when I spotted a rapidly growing petition concerning making the Monday after Remembrance Sunday a national holiday.

Not only is this a good idea simply because it would help us all appreciate what we have (a democracy) but it also bridges the gap between late Summer and Christmas during which there aren’t any national holidays. We all get a day off and respectable reason too!

If you’re interested, here’s the petition: http://petitions.pm.gov.uk/remembermonday/
