Tips to continue using Windows XP
Windows Vista has made it finally into the market. Still many people are hesitating to upgrade to the new operating system. They like the existing one. There is certainly new bugs and incompatibility issues with the new Windows, as was the case always. While still having doubts about moving to Vista, Microsoft have announced their new OS called Windows 7, due in 2010! as per the expected development time-frame. Isn’t that insane? We are still using XP, having problems with Vista, and we have to prepare for a new OS?
I was shocked to see it being announced that soon. I know they have to start working, but don’t promise a deadline so close when we are still digesting your new OS. Many people, including me, are refusing to shift to Vista as they are happy with what they have. Problem is, some Vista users are so happy with the new Windows flips, 3D effects, transparency at all. Same features are also in Ubuntu and Mac now it’s becoming something trivial. Well, this post I came across gives tips and hints to people who want to keep using Windows XP for the next seven years. It lists down some cool tools that will aid the visual effects of current Windows XP. Hope you find it useful. I personally liked the Alt-Tab Replacement Tool. Gives thumbnail of application you are switching to. There is also another simple yet useful tool this article doesn’t target which is Taskbar Shuffle. Let’s you shuffle and arrange the stuff on your Windows Taskbar. Such simple feature I say should come by default.

The best way to keep XP working is to keep it clutter-free in my opinion. “Windows 7″ or whatever they’re calling it is ariving soon because Vista isn’t really selling that well. There’s an article on how Vista is hurting the industry right now, although I can’t seem to find it :/
