Unless you are in China. They are still providing support there.

Oh come on. I’m not a Microsoft fanboi, but XP’s time has come and long gone. There should be no mourning. Windows 7 works great.

Won’t good anti-virus software take care of any “security holes” that are left unpatched?

I have no idea what they are talking about. I’m still using it on two machines. Is it going to suddenly stop working? What about my machine running Win2K?

Yeah well I loved my XP but my computer was dying and I had to get Windows 8..

Today my 8 has been giving me fits..

not opening a page or not maxing and other dumb things that were fine yesterday..

FR is OK but not other sites..

cant get Bing or Google to work..

Is this related to the death of XP ???

I can’t even remember the last time I used XP, people need to catch up and stop whining.

Here lies Windows XP

It lived a long life as Microsoft tried to kill it off
by substituting even worse operating systems.
It lived the remainder of its life as an unwanted stepchild.
Dad favored Millenial Edition and continued to produce other lame children.

Now, it has been cast out into the cold - food, water and protection withheld.

XP will be remembered as Peak Microsoft.

Big whoop, if I read stuff correctly, it is IE that is most vulnerable and I never use that.

Regardless, I am leaving my well loaded XP machine as a tool to use disconnected from the internet. There are uses for computers beyond websurfing and email, believe it or not.

My new Win 7 machine fills in for the rest and may grow in capability slowly.

AT least we still have some years of Vista and 7 before 8 goes completely to crap on everything.

I'm tempted to reinstall XP on one of my computers just to see how long I can make it last.

I have 7 on my desktop and still have XP on my laptop. Some of the “improvements” in file handling on 7 are no improvements at all. It works okay. But no one was demanding a change from XP, which has been working just fine. The change to 7 was more of a con game to boost Microslop’s income and stock values than any need to address problems with XP.

To celebrate the passing, I bought my wife a new lap top

Windows 8 will challenge her to keep her skills up to snuff

Old operating systems never die, they just get replaced
