I understand they need to improve for a better profit for the company. Why would I care about the profit when people like me make the profit for them. With all the knowledge mircrosoft has why not make a software that i would gladly buy to keep XP.
When buying a newer computer aren't you buying the software. That becomes a money thing.
XP has been around this long because it's good edtion and user friendly. Just my thoughts!

If you have anti-malware and/or anti-virus software on your computer run them to see if you have a problem. I also had this happen on my home computer and Microsoft technicians helped me get rid of the problem.

What are you seeing when you try to turn them off?
