Faced with this task I noticed that XP still had the 'classic' theme installed (should have heard the 95 to XP earful).Īt that point I say fuck it, backup the data and install Windows 7. I spoke to them before about upgrading to Windows 7 and they just gave me an earful about how their 96 Buick was still going strong so why is XP any different.

So I'm over their and am faced with a task, what to do about updating their machine without updating it. Still using IE8 (and refusing to use either Firefox or Chrome), they were complaining about their internet not displaying right and websites telling them they needed to update their browser. It was all fine and dandy in 07 but looking 6 years on, XP was showing its age. They bought their computer in 2007 and quickly had me do away with Vista on the machine and downgrade it to XP. Their philosophy was that 'if it ain't broke don't fix it'. As of December 13' my aunt and uncle still ran Windows XP and were very happy with it. Every time I've come over there has always been a computer issue that needed attention. For me this the equivalent of another business trip.

For everyone this is a time to relax, sit back and enjoy time off work. Over Christmas break we normally go over to our Aunts and Uncles place. Whats more frightening that an office full of computer illiterate employees? My extended family ladies and gentlemen.
