There are many people and organizations which are still preferring to use MS XP over Vista, but here are a few reasons why you should not go for XP any more.
- Software Vendors Don't Support Old OSes Long Enough: Although Windows XP will be supported with security fixes into 2014, many ISVs won't support their products on Windows XP for that long, and Microsoft and the ISVs often won't support new versions of their software on older operating systems.
- OEMs Will Deliver Fewer PC Models with Old OSes Each Year: in the near future, before Windows 7 can be deployed Windows XP drivers may not be available on the PC models you want to buy, forcing you to buy other models that may have different features or price points than you want.
- ISVs Don't Support New OSes Soon Enough: Historically, most vendors need a year or more before they support a new OS. When Windows 2000 shipped, it took some software vendors nearly three years before they supported it.
- Microsoft's OS Delivery Schedule Is Unpredictable: Microsoft has said it will deliver Windows 7 about three years after Vista shipped (that is, the fourth quarter of 2006), but the company's track record for shipping new versions of Windows on time is not good.
- You May Need to Pay Microsoft for Upgrades: Businesses without SA (software assurance) must budget to buy software license upgrades. How much to budget depends on what downgrade rights Microsoft provides with Windows 7.
These are a few reasons why the time has come to shift from XP to Vista.
