> Windows XP? Well if you’re trying to compare operating systems.
No, I wasn't comparing operating systems whatsoever. You missed the point. The point was that XP is obsolete and won't get patched. However, with ONE IN FIVE -- 20% of Windows users STILL USING XP, I thought a word of warning was the least I could do.
> What version of OSX or was it OS 9 back when XP launched... See if Apple fixes it for that os.
Are you joking? Or drunk? This has absolutely nothing to do with Apple or OS-X. Were you conscious between 2004 and 2012?
The problem with XP was that Microsoft royally screwed the pooch, multiple times, and had to keep XP alive because they produced "follow-up" releases that were so unacceptable, so flawed, that nobody wanted them, even when Microsoft tried to force them down their customers' throats. As a result Windows users stayed with XP much longer than they ever should have. Windows 7 was a winner, but 6 years after it was released, XP still has 20% of the users. That's how badly Microsoft screwed up.
To imply that Apple should have done the same thing is not only missing the point, it's over-the-top nuts.
> Our see if any Linux distro that was out 12 years ago gets a patch.
Oh, for-q. This is the same issue, and you have the same confusion. You -are- confused, right? Not drunk? Just sayin'.
> Our Amy Android...oops Android want even out them
Hmmm, maybe you ARE drunk.
> so does the first Android version get a patch from Google? Seriously I don’t know will Google patch EVERT version of Android?
Why are you going on like this? Please, go back to sleeping, or drinking, or whatever it was you were doing. Thanks.
And while you're at it, make sure you aren't running XP. Upgrade at least to Windows 7 -- it's a wonderful operating system. I have 5 instances of it (three at home, two at work) that I use daily. It rocks.
I'm looking out for you, for-q. You sound like a person who needs help. Take care and have a great evening.
I’m told that one can get updates for XP, there’s some method of convincing Microsoft that your XP is running an ATM, for that application the updates continue uninterrupted.
Actually I’m running windows 8.1. I didn’t take that as a warning to people to upgrade off of XP to win7 or win8.1. If that was your intention I’m sorry I couldn’t see that in your point. Either my bias or your bias got in the way...probably a bit of both :-)
But it does look like Swordmaker is trying to compare OS support models. FWIW.
When Win7 lets my NAT server run, or alternately quits being a jackass about ICS and allows me to assign myself the IP I wish, then I’ll switch my last XP box. Not til then.
