How many of us Nigerians, truly are truly going to miss Windows XP, in case Microsoft finally decides to give the sales of this globally popular OS? REFER to http://unwired3ng(dot)blogspot(dot)com/2008/05/windows-xp-to-be-off-market-by-june-30.html


Guys, you know what, I have had Microsoft's monopoly up-to-here,  Don't you think it's about time we developed our own Systems Software Suite. You know, "Made-in-Nigeria" stuff. Who knows,even if the world doesn't acknowledge its popularity or superiority over the Windows, Linuxes, etc, at least it will be a great advancement in the great Nigerian IT dream.

What's your opinion guys in the House???

Actually windows Xp is the best thing ever to have happened to computer. Its fast , intelligent, reliable, secure, enjoyable/entertaining, easy, versatile, and friendly. Indeed it made people love computer and created a reliable platform for ordinary business to tap the power in computer. Its going to be the grand father of many good OS to come.
The inspiration we get from Windows XP will help us develop even more powerful programs. But that will mean a very xtensive research and knowledge which the current atmosphere called Nigeria can not provide at the moment.

Neverthless, the ingenuity that can produce something that is better than microsoft windows OS, should be encouraged to leave this country. Reasons ; This will enable the project see the light of day.  It will also enable Nigerians to benefit from it. The world will buy it and use it. Otherwise, the work will be pirated here, people will supply the pirated copies to locals&foreigners. It will be too cheap and underprized. The big companies willl always Use imported ones. You will be a looser.

So, try and sell it to them from abroad. US especially.

unless the government changes for good!
