I'm not sure how you think my comment supports Win 7 in any way!
I castigate XP for it's abominable lack of modernisation - while recognising, like you, that it is preferable to it's successors in almost every way (but security).
XP is dog-eared shit. It's so long in the tooth, that it regards SATA as an exotic technology.
Try installing from a CD onto a piece of post '04 hardware. It will often refuse to recognise disks, displays, and any network devices. Unless you have slipstreamed your own installer with several of the service releases, you must resort to sneaker-net from a working machine to supply the endless list of drivers. Thank God there is working USB 2.
Without a later SP, you cannot even connect to most wireless APs. WPA2 is a blocker, and it's pull a cable, or back to shipping hundreds of megabytes on your flash drive.
Then? Prepare, once you have connectivity, for the 100-odd updates and patches. I suggest you assume 3 hours and three reboots - with a fast network.
That people and organisations continue to prefer this situation to Vista or Win7 is a complete indictment of Microsoft and their utter failure to produce real value for users since 2001.
Apple is shooting through the roof. Corporations where I would see only HP or Lenovo are 20-30 % Mac! Mind you: this means buying from a company with no significant enterprise sales division and no spec customisation for large customers.
When people leave XP? They really want to leave Microsoft. Apple would still be selling single-digit percentages, had MS not so totally and arrogantly fucked their core business.
This is not for disputation or argumentation - just recognition.
If you were not struck by the recognition? You were not the intended for this. No level of discourse would satisfy you. You do not seek elucidation, or even a position you can respect for its own construction.
I think your explanation is beginning to help me figure this out. With arguments of 7,6,5, or 0 in three positions? I wondered if they meant someone stuck a wrong digit in a command - but that would still be a ridiculous way to say it.

Do you think there is an "intelligence" organisation in the world, that is no co-opted and part of the secret government operations?
US and Pakistan.
Together. CIA and ISI?
Here's your backdoor Trojan from hell.
Somewhere in your comment is an insight, that I think I share.
Except the market part. Facebook will do well - just as the private companies running prisons do, today.
The Google/Facebook Panopticon "business" model of turning "customers" into inventory REALLY is suited to the date-rape metaphor.
"I thought we were going to have a wonderful evening. Everything started out so nice, and he paid for everything...".
The whole topic sounds as if it could be translated: "Just like date rape, only better"
Does any body here remember when the Internet didn't suck the life out of you, and exhaust your will to see tomorrow?
Thanks!

You just wish to snipe and jape.
You are a master baiter.

A deliberate move.
Concentrate power and wealth for very few, at the cost of all the others... Then? Castigate the losers in this scheme as stupid or non- adaptable.

I know both of these things - I first used chmod about 1981.
The sentence doesn't make sense.
