Well, take a look at the usage share statistics for Windows XP. Despite being two versions out of date it still commands an almost 50% usage share. People are holding onto XP for dear life rather than opening their wallets and upgrading to the latest and greatest.<br /> Could this be a problem facing Microsoft when it tries to get people to upgrade to Windows 8? It could well be<br /> And if they don’t want touch, why upgrade to Windows 8. </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/9116#post-87419 Thu, 06 Jan 2011 05:47:55 +0000 notblocklox 87419@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p><blockquote><strong>May all your troubles last as long as your New Year&#39;s resolutions!</strong></blockquote><br /> NN </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/9116#post-87259 Sat, 01 Jan 2011 16:54:26 +0000 triphammer 87259@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>Wishing everyone a Happy New Year all ! </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/9116#post-87256 Sat, 01 Jan 2011 16:28:26 +0000 ⓒⓗⓘⓟ 87256@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>Happy New Year&#39;s! </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/9116#post-87246 Sat, 01 Jan 2011 08:48:18 +0000 Michelle 87246@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>Happy New Year </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/9116#post-87244 Sat, 01 Jan 2011 04:11:09 +0000 chazzo125 87244@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>Happy New Year everyone!

As Graylox points out; if you miss the giveaway period you will then have to wait till it&#39;s rerun (assuming that it will rerun) or purchase the software. you can always try contacting the developer of software you&#39;d really like to try explaining that you missed the giveaway. Some developers can be quite generous, but don&#39;t assume they are going to give you anything, or even reply to your emails. </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/1666#post-86255 Wed, 08 Dec 2010 19:03:39 +0000 notblocklox 86255@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>You can defer an installation until it&#39;s rerun by GOTD (Giveaway of the <strong>D</strong>ay).</p> <p>Otherwise <strong>No</strong>:</p> <p>Please read the terms and conditions!</p> <p><a href="http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/faq/">Installation / Re-installation</a></p> <p>Happy vacation!<br /> graylox </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/1666#post-86248 Wed, 08 Dec 2010 16:43:59 +0000 mike37 86248@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>Hi all,</p> <p>Can we defer the installation of a program offered by Giveaway of the Way ? </p> <p>I&#39;m on vacation this week !</p> <p>Thanks! </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/8949#post-86140 Mon, 06 Dec 2010 03:32:08 +0000 hotdoge3 86140@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>Thanks Robert There&#39;s an interesting article over here.

This will do a &quot;Dynamic Upgrade&quot; ,and install XP on top of itself.<br /> You might not have this option with OEMs.Also you might need a XP SP3 slipstreamed cd. </p> <p>If you don&#39;t have the option to do an upgrade (as with most oems),try to make or try to get your hands on a xpsp3 (slipstreamed) oem ,boot with it and try &quot;R&quot; again.<br /> This should work.</p> <p>DO NOT press &#39;R&#39; if you do not see your existing Windows XP installation displayed.</p> <p>Another option might be to &#39;downgrade&#39; your existing XP installation first(to the SP version on your cd) .</p> <p>Be sure to backup your important files first on external media! </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/8949#post-86084 Sat, 04 Dec 2010 20:32:17 +0000 Suze 86084@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>hotdoge3 - I&#39;m not sure exactly what you&#39;re trying to do, or fix, but I wonder if you could restore your system to an earlier Restore Point from Safe Mode.
