XP. What’s in it for me? I can think of many reasons NOT to move to XP, but no reasons in favour.

pros:

  • groovy new skin

cons:

  • Passport Integration
    Really, can any one honestly tell me there is any reason I should even consider installing XP after reading about these Passport Exploits?
  • Messenger Integration
    don’t need it (I prefer to use Yahoo IM)
  • Forced Registration
    don’t want it
  • Licence Expiry / Lockout
    if I decide to stop paying, can I continue using it?
  • Increased Dependence on MS Web Services
    what happens when they start charging 25 cents for every .NET diary lookup call?
