# You know its bad when..

#### By Matt Adams April 29, 2008

PC manufacturers wont take your kool-aid of an OS and keep using what was tried and tre, even in the PC world.

> [Windows XP lives on through licensing loopholes](http://www.vnunet.com/vnunet/news/2215389/windows-xp-lives-licensing)

I guess this should force microsoft to build a better system, and fast. If history is any indication, it could be another 3 – 4 years for another microsoft OS attempt. Apple will have had 4 or 5 OS releases since the original XP, and Linux will have had time to convince the mainstream that [Ubuntu](http://www.ubuntu.com)
 is a great Windows alternative.
