Bottom line is if you don't like the product, don't use it. You wouldn't buy a car that doesn't have air conditioning or power steering or limited the number of miles you can drive before it shuts off...so why do you continuously buy the OS? Because you "have" to? Stop complaining if it's an "I have to because I have to" scenario. It's already a last resort if you're only using it for a few programs and not daily use. If XP works for you, fine. But you don't have the right to say that they should cater to your demands when you're a niche user. Their business depends on the developing and evolving industry in which they exist...just like any other business.
