| 1375844 | 2014-05-25 22:33:00 | Or you could upgrade properly... | pcuser42 (130) | ||
| 1375845 | 2014-05-25 23:10:00 | As several places have suggested, MS will soon catch on and dont be at all surprised if the "patch" is blocked. | wainuitech (129) | ||
| 1375846 | 2014-05-25 23:38:00 | Was wondering that as it is a pretty gray area and no doubt some would compromise their system if it does not work for them | Lawrence (2987) | ||

| 1375848 | 2014-05-26 00:57:00 | great stuff what are you going to do in 5 years time? XP is dead, good riddence They will complain even louder, in five years time no doubt Windows will have changed again in its layout and operation and people will feel completely ( more) lost than what they do now. While people who learn new functions will be laughing and shaking their heads yet again. :groan: I was working on an XP This morning - god it felt so OLD and :yuck: Most people learn how to use a smart phone reasonable quick, if they don't they get left behind - same applies. |

| 1375849 | 2014-05-26 01:34:00 | Yea that's great but nothing else is going to be supported on XP. Browser updates (Chrome, Firefox etc) will stop coming soon, your line-of-business software will stop supporting it and that flash new printer you had to buy won't have XP drivers available. |

XP is dead, good riddence And you were the one while Win 2000 was still going that was singing the praises of Win XP.. But then again you work for M$ so you have a verstered interest of people upgrading to the latest and greatest regardless how good / bad it may be.. |
