XP is far far from dead, it is still widely used. Hell, even DOS & Win2k are not dead yet.


What Im seeing , is that customers want to upgrade to Win7 Win8 because of a panic over XP security risks....
yet they absolutely will not upgrade the also 'dead' Office2003 (or even Office 2k,XP).
So they still have the security risk of running unsupported software. No point upgrading to Win7 if you still run Outlook03.

1372127 2014-04-07 22:39:00 XP is alive and kicking on my desktop unit - I doubt I'll ever ditch it unless maybe to upgrade it to 7 when/if I get a free copy. Its not connected to the Internet so absolutely no worries about security. Greg (193)
1372128 2014-04-07 22:46:00 XP & IE8 here at work, and no sign of any upcoming changes any time soon.
Meanwhile one of the companies we work with is upgrading to windows 7 and currently can't do anything PC related until the upgrade is competed. Causing some delays.

Firefox 28 still works with XP SP2 :D
We sold the 2 spare boxes lying around here just 2 months or so ago. This Win7 which was running XP in 2009 hope it gets to the Jan 2020 last day.
