Windows 8 - Yea or Nay?
celticgeek:
I still have a hard drive that has Windows XP on it. I use it to download photographs from my camera because I cannot find Linux to download the pictures.
Pilchard123:
I'm running XP on the computer I usually use. I've only got 7 on my new (not-yet-arrived) computer because XP support is end soon (or did they extend it more?) and shenanigans with DirectX.
pwhodges:
Final support (for those who get it) for XP ends in spring 2014. There is no way that will get extended again; it's 12 years since release.
Microsoft gets a lot of bad press, and deserves much of it - but that is a superb record in this field, actually. By contrast, Apple currently only supports present and previous (and just maybe one before for really bad issues) - i.e. barely three years - and also makes it hard to run the latest OS on old machines.
