Not to pick a fight but, with your last statement "Just because a number of people refuse to upgrade does not mean everyone should remain in the dark ages especially when a solution for both system is available."
I don't think you know all the reason why people haven't updated, therefor shouldn't call anyone stubborn. The fact is that people have several reason for sticking with an older operating system.. Just to give you a concept to grasp:
- Computer is afairly outdated, and upgrading would severly slow the machine.
- - "Buy a new machine" The person/houshold doesn't have the money to upgrade. So now are they supposed to go out and buy an $800 system so they are not referred to as "stubborn"?
- Don't have the money to pay for an operating system at the moment
- Prefer windows 2000/9x instead of XP (I won't get into the reasons)
- Hardware conflicts
Im not going to argue all these points, as I shouldn't have to. The point I'm stressing is you do not have the right to call anyone stubborn for choosing to (or being limited to) updating.
