Webuser.co.uk: "When Microsoft extended the lifespan of its Windows XP operating system, announcing that it would remain on store shelves until June next year, it appeared that people were taking a dim view about the merits of upgrading to Windows Vista.
Windows XP was supposed to expire in January 2008, but the five-month kiss-of-life was explained by Microsoft as a response to feedback from its customers, which made industry-watchers wonder whether the real reason was that people were not prepared to upgrade to Vista, which went on sale in January this year.
Microsoft was at pains to stress that Vista was doing well, but admitted there were "some customers who need a little more time to make the switch.""
Microsoft announced its financial results for Q3 of fiscal year 2026, including an update on its gaming Xbox business and more.
Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.
To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.
The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.
Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.
15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.
These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
Thanks to the slip-up of an artist working on the title, we now have more evidence that a new Injustice game is in the works.
Spiders: "We're going to cut straight to the chase so you're not left wondering: After a long period without clear answers, we have received confirmation that Spiders is being liquidated.
What does it mean? This means the company as a whole no longer exists. We'll cease our functions immediately. The planned DLC will release via Nacon, and then-- well, that's it.
We're sorry that it's come to this and would like to thank each and every one of you for your support over the years.
If you have any questions or run into issues with your games, please contact Nacon directly as we'll no longer be able to reply."
Wahou

Don't care about this crappy OS, just love my XP.
what kind of question is that?
they should check how many people still use Xp and has switch back from Vista to XP. is horrible
It took years for Windows XP to become common place on PCs.
I remember when Windows, I think it was either XP or 2000, had little drivers for the hardware with caused problems for a lot of people.
Vista, it seems like a lot of software issues occur.
people are just waiting for the bugs to be cleaned out before they change. Plus XP is well established and works now, why change it with something that does not.
I'll stick to XP thankyou very much.
If only Vista showed greater performance than XP...
