Is Windows XP being sabotaged?

Microsoft is taking extraordinary steps to convince people to upgrade away from its most successfull operating system to date, to Windows 7. In my experience, Windows 7 is a fantastic upgrade and performs far better than Windows XP on the same hardware. The features and reliability improvements are truly worth the cost of admission. But how far is Microsoft willing to go to “convince” people to upgrade? Are they sabotaging XP?

I still have a few Windows XP machines, some dedicated to specific applications and others kept around to help with client compatibility testing. These machines have been working fine for years, but for some reason they seem to be slowing down. Aside from regular Microsoft critical and security upgdates, I haven’t made any changes to these machines. For some reason however, they seem to be slowing down. I originally thought that my shiny new Windows 7 machines were spoiling me so I started to time things and keep track. Over the past 6 months, I am seeing my Windows XP machines perform worse than before, again with no changes other than Microsoft updates.

So I ask the question again, Is Windows XP being sabotaged?
What do you think?

Posted in General, Windows7.

Continuity or Catastrophe: Planning for the worst and expecting the best.

“Business continuance (sometimes referred to as business continuity) describes the process and procedures an organization puts in place to ensure that essential functions can continue during and after a disaster. Business continuance planning seeks to prevent interruption of mission-critical services, and to reestablish full functioning as swiftly and smoothly as possible.” (Source: techtarget.com)

This may sound simple but poor planning can lead a business straight to failure.
