The consciousness of most of the people on this world is quite average and that dictates the way they see life, existence - well everything! EVERYTHING.Schiffbauer wrote:I´m always using my fully developed XP with dualcore and my system is fast.

The way that translates in day to day things, is that most people follow what others are doing, or what is being pushed on them to the point of not questioning things too much, let alone fighting for alternatives or even understanding the reasons for the supposedly "needed changes, i.e. following the mainstream or various sub-groups. On one side it's easier to do that, but on the other side, such individuals feel safer within numbers, that's just a natural phenomena of those levels of consciousness. Though that does make them easy to be manipulated, they allow it, and you can see this with most people measuring which is the greater/lesser of two evils, throughout life, across many of its aspects. Of course the mind excuses this whole process through self-justification, subjective morality and subjective perception utilizing primarily surface reasons for the change, hence millions upon millions of internet posts or conversations about any single topic, where this phenomena is occurring. It's indicative of something larger than just the computer field. This is why you can see it in many places, not just here with this particular issue/subject.
Some individuals do not even know why they are changing, they just "think" it is better, but they do not really know. Most are pressured internally, from within themselves to keep up with the "latest and greatest", when one gives into one aspect, it carries across to other areas of their life. Too much is placed on the tools, as being the saving grace of one's endeavors. This need to always add more external value, in order to do things, but in the end, few actually end up really doing something. When you are surrounded by high value externally, but you have few things of high value to express from yourself, there is a cancelling out, so that, nothing is really said, even though the latest and greatest may be in your possession. While the more complex tools allow for broader possibilities, whether anything of any value or relevance is being done with them, is an entirely different issue, no tool can address.
Just the fact that one has to make a forum topic telling others about these kind of things, says at which level such individuals operate. And that's not a denigration, but simple observation.
In the end, use what best bridges your internal reality to the external one, whether it be something 5000 years old, or just off the factory floor last week. And be happy that you can use both. It was not always so, nor may it always be so.
