Combine that with shit software and the worst customer support in the business and the only conclusion is that Symantec can't die fast enough. Die Symantec, Die.
Speaking as an IT support business owner: you're off base on all counts.
XP users are generally boxed in. Most of them already have newer computers, but can't ditch the old XP box because it cant be replaced or costs too much to replace.
Windows 8 is not an "upgrade" to anything. I spend a lot of time helping people get their hands on Win7 boxen.
Copiers don't have compatibility issues with new paper and toner, extrememly weak analogy.
You don't seem to understand how OEM licensing and activation codes work. OEM licenses activating automatically is not the same as a free copy.
The fact that MS chooses not to include a fully-functional XP virtual machine in each and every copy of win8 is obnoxious and borderline criminal. Smells like a decision that fat faggot Ballmer would have made.
I realize that even this would not solve all the antique XP problems, but it would solve the majority.
(offtopic) I often imagine the goodwill that MS would generate if they offered all Win8 users a free "downgrade" to win7. Add to this the aforementioned VM and I think even slashdotters might say nice things about them.
turning a super-stodgy old HP-VUE desktop into wild ornate Giger nightmare with rust holes in the window frames. Too bad it was so unstable. What was that, 15 years ago, and it's now on 0.19? Good times in the server room. Wish I had a mod point for you today.
Aren't SF libtard fuckwits the people responsible for inflicting that filthy fascist cunt Feinstein on America?
Fuck SF, fuck the bay area. (I lived there for 15 years for the record.)
But the cause isn't the schools, it's the free money
Asolutely the exact problem with the (so called) higher education, ALSO the same problem with HEALTH CARE!
The big-government entitlement handout asshats (Democrats and RINOS) pour money into the system and then wonder why the costs skyrocket! Simple economics - no wonder Congress (and leftists) can't figure it out.
But it's the libtards and leftists who profit from the education cost debacle, where do you think that $1T went? Into the pockets of the leftist scum that runs the college system (read: leftist programming camps) who, after filling the minds of the young with socialist lies, fund the campaigns of scum like Obama.
It's all there in the light of day to be seen, yet cue the libtards to start squealing "you can's say that!" in three, two, one...
Mark Shuttleworth notes "The mobile industry has long been looking for a viable alternative to those that reign today.
This explains the vast numbers trashing their iOs and Android devices and switching over to Windows 8 phones. Good thing we'll have another trusted team like Canonical added to the equation./sarc
You really think the courts are not corrupt? They will just rubber stamp whatever their federal masters want, and suppress what they don't. Violate that gag order that they slap on you and do federal hard time, so after you get buttreamed in court you can't even complain.
He thinks that Obama started the surveillance. Not that it absolves anyone, Obama's fully guilty of continuing Bush's crimes.
I think the point was that that the left appears to be anxious to turn America into a prison state, as long as it's their guy running the prison.

Google is run by libtard scum, and it's libtard scum policy to persecute men, especially white men.
Worried about what? Have you ever known a patched XP machine to be any less vulnerable? Any stock windows box is a honeypot, xp or otherwise.

Facebook is kind of an engorged pustule on the ass of gaming.

Screw Dr Watson, that stupid program totally failed to fix my Windows 3.11 back in 1995.
Fortunately, life finds a way,
"Indeed it does!", say the maggots and microbes eating the decomposing bodies.
That was fun,

Pretty sure you can do a factory reset on most android phones.

Currently treason is defined as: "Not supporting Obama". The irony is rich.
They were quickly co-opted and become just another arm of the machine they wanted to fix.
No, we weren't. Evidence: If we had been the Lamestream Propaganda Media wouldn't be spewing hate at us 24/7.
Above: Obama's amazing fail power, it can mod an AC post +5 insightful on /.

No because "state schools collecting $100,000 in borrowed money and giving degrees in women's studies" are 100% fictional.
Is that you Harry Reid, or some other lying libtard?

Does it make you feel good to enable an overbearing totalitarian government? Do you want to live in Nazi America? You better wake up and get educated.
So let's get Bush and Cheney out of the White House! Wait...
