The end of an era.
Wait, did they just call Windows a "POS"?

XP forever unless I can install 7 and dual boot between the two. Thats a question. I tried to paste my system properties screen but forgot that you can’t paste. Guess I have to store the image somewhere and then reference it. Oh well.

At some point you’ve got to put the thing out to pasture.

Sadly, my XP box died years ago. It’s the only AMD machine I ever built, and the only one to have died. Hence, I think I will be sticking with Intel.
I should boot up my 98 box at some point and play some Duke Nukem for old time’s sake, though...

I have an older XP box sitting right along side of my Win7 machine. I have some 20 year old DOS software that supports a very expensive and irreplaceable piece of hardware that refuses to run properly on anything but an actual 32-bit XP system. No emulation allowed.
Anyway, every time I fire up that old dog, I am reminded how great XP really was. OK, it’s not as stable as Win7, but it is up and running long before Win7 even begins to wake up on a machine that is theoretically faster.

I’m NOT a computer guy, but I know I really liked XP.

XP lives on. I recently rehabed a vintage Dell Latitude 610 laptop loaded with XP for the sole purpose of running vintage video games that no longer run on 64 bit ops. Someone should investigate a niche market for this purpose. There might be money to be made.
