Microsoft is having a pretty hard time killing off Windows XP. Once upon a time, you could reliably count on Microsoft to release a new version of DOS and then Windows every few years. The new versions typically offered significant improvements in speed and stability as well as new features. But a funny thing happened with Windows XP. Many users found it was good enough for daily use — even 8 years after the operating system was launched.

If these companies would make products people like to use (such as Windows XP) and stop trying to stuff money into their cash drawer, they might realize there’s more money in making reliable products than garbage to upgrade every couple of years.
