Whenever we lose a loved one, the first anniversary of their death can hit you kind of hard. So here at Computer Geeks, not all of our Geeks are taking it so well that today is the 1 year anniversary of the Death of Windows XP. From 2001-2014 Windows XP was always there for us, and maybe it wasn’t without bugs, or viruses or even the Blue screen of death, but it got the job done. Especially when we were so disappointed in Windows Vista, lets be honest, NOBODY likes Windows Vista. But somehow Vista gets to live. And I know some of you out there are still holding on to your Windows XP computers, since 16.7% of all computers (including Mac) are still running Windows XP. Compare that to Windows Vista at a measly 1.97% or Windows 8 at 3.52%

Now that there is no Windows XP to purchase, and our old machines are dying off, we need to get a new computer, and again we are faced with a new Microsoft operating system that NOBODY wants to use, Windows 8. But I am here to tell you that it is time to move on, we know you can do it! Having Windows XP on your system is dangerous, and in a lot of business settings, like Law Offices, Medical Practices, and Dental Offices, you are out of compliance with your businesses standard practices and can be severely fined. Since there are no service packs or patches available, people have already found a way to hack the firmware of the last edition of Windows XP and can easily steal all of your personal, financial and customer information, and when that happens, your computer is toast.

Moving on from Windows XP

So how do you do it? How can you finally put this Operating System to rest, and move on? You’re NOT going to use that awful tile system that Windows 8 has, that’s for sure. Computer Geeks still has a deal with many of our vendors that will allow us to purchase a new system for you, with Windows 7. Windows 7 holds a 58.04% market share for operating systems. Take it from someone who was dragged kicking and screaming away from Windows XP, I LOVE Windows 7. It is just a shinier, less buggy version of Windows XP, it’s an easy transition, I promise. It’s like your overweight wife dies, but her hot model friend wants to date you now, it may be a big step to move on, but you’ll be happier in the end.

Still not Convinced?

Along with a new computer with Windows 7, we are happy to let you know that Microsoft has told everyone that their new Operating System, Windows 10, will be available FOR FREE to anyone with a Windows 7 or higher OS for the first year only. And trust me when I tell you that Windows 10 shall be light years ahead of Windows 8, bringing back the start bar, and your normal desktop! I have used this new operating system already, and it is great. Not to mention the coolest thing you’ve ever seen in your entire life, Microsoft Hololens! Check out the video below, IT IS AWESOME.
