An Open Letter to Microsoft Corp. IN RE: Discontinuation of Windows XP

Dear Messrs:

While I appreciate your need to move on with the development and support of your product line, I find it astonishing and appalling that your corporation has chosen to discontinue both the support and sale of Windows XP in favor of Windows Vista. As a user who has chosen to remain with your platform, I am angered.

Your choice to leave most of your users with an inferior interim product while we wait for the next release is irresponsible, and quite frankly, rude. XP works, has worked and has continued to work. It supports other software and hardware, is still relatively simple to use and is a complete release. Why you still continue to tout the virtues of Vista remains a mystery. It is incomplete, incompatible and just plain clunky. It isn't user friendly (I still don't understand why Microsoft has continued to hide code and features from the user interface) in any sense, and makes it more and more difficult for super users to work with.

In short, you suck.

FUCK YOU, SIRS! FUCK YOU!

Thank you for your attention.

Best regards,
Antonius Rex
