April 29, 2008 - As of June 30, 2008, Microsoft will no longer offer Windows XP operating system on most new computers sales. Melanie Gass, a Microsoft product expert, believes the forced shift to Windows Vista is necessary to further technology growth.
Windows Vista is the operating system that makes your computer hardware components speak to each other. Gass states, “It’s the heart for your computer. Without it, your computer can’t function.” Released to the public in January of 2007, it was designed to provide computers the capabilities of integrating the various functions of our lives into one system.
Rollout to this new version has been slow, and an overwhelming number of complaints forced Microsoft to offer downgrade options on new computer purchases through June 30, 2008, with the exception of the lowest price computers which would go into effect in 2010. Microsoft released the first service pack to Vista last month in an effort to quell consumer complaints.
Melanie Gass, a Microsoft Expert of ten years and six-time author of Microsoft computer reference guides, explains that some of her customers argue that Vista is not compatible with their existing system devices and system programs. Others fear that Vista is far more complicating to operate than Windows XP.
Gass knows Windows Vista is visually different from its counterpart Windows XP, but believes Vista is easier to maneuver once one is used to operating it. Gass understands the Windows Vista operating environment and believes it can be beneficial to users. Gass states, “[Windows] Vista is the new generation of operating system that can take your computer to the next level.
For the home user it integrates a variety of gaming and general maneuvering options to quickly navigate around your computer. It’s designed to appease the instantaneous demands we have grown accustomed to in today’s society. The release of the latest service pack, and the Vista compatibility options from hardware and software manufacturers gives people a reason to buy it now.”
Windows XP retirement will allow Windows Vista to take Center stage as the new primary operating system among users, and Gass believes this will further technology growth within the computer sector. She states “Microsoft is changing the base architecture of its operating environment in Windows Vista to plan for the future. You’ll locate files faster, work with programs in a way you’ve never dreamed of, and the code behind it will only become more sophisticated.
Sometimes it’s difficult to see the future from today, but it’s easy to tell how far computers have come in the last 5 years alone. Imagine the interaction possibilities for the future just in communicating through the computer alone. Everything these days start with an idea using the computer. And Vista is the new platform to help us get there.”
