I could be wrong, but I don’t think the number of dedicated XP users, who will use no other OS, is probably not that many people, relatively speaking compared with the total user base.

That is probably true for home users (especially with new systems forcing people to Windows 8, yuck), but there are a surprising number of businesses still running XP. And even then we’re not necessarily talking about desktop computers; there are a bunch of kiosks and point-of-sale machines (cash registers) out there that run XP.

The guy writing the article makes some good points, but he’s a smug S.O.B. who I wouldn’t cry over if he fell down a couple of flights of stairs.

I’m working now on an Xp box. I have a hundred browser windows open.9 word docs, notepad plus, 18 open notepads, ewinsp, 8 irfans, netbeans, mobipocket, 2 excel and a dos cli. Setting up my next box will be a nightmare.

Screw microsoft. Will probably go linux on desktop next time, already there on webserver.

LOL! Don't beat around the bush - tell us how you REALLY feel.

Now I'm going to have to read the article to plumb the depths of His Smugness.
