It probably wouldn't matter, Xubuntu is not Ubuntu. Considering Xubuntu is built around Xfce I don't see why they'd switch to Mir if it's not compatible Xfce. |

| 1339026 | 2013-04-30 11:43:00 | Cough :blush: I do too, run them that is . When I booted up the old W2K box a week or two ago, the first things to appear after it went on line were some security alerts and updates so there is still a small measure of MS support out there for it, despite its age . Myself, when I update from XP it will be to W7 Pro or Ultimate, depending on what is available on TM at the time . All going well, DOS 6 . 11 will go on via a virtual machine, as may W98 . Cheers Billy 8-{) I use Windows 7 Ultimate and Professional . I still use "Professional File" data base in DOS Box, also the DOS version of "Neopaint" . Also Windows 98 in a virtual machine for an old parts catalog . Most old software runs on Windows 7 . |

| 1339027 | 2013-04-30 14:42:00 | Most old software runs on Windows 7. Agreed, except 16-bit applications. For that I have Windows 98 SE running in Virtual PC 2007 in which I have enable it to seamlessly intergrate when using it eg: I am able to copy files from one to the other by just dragging them into the virtual window. |

| 1339028 | 2013-04-30 15:18:00 | I am still running Windows XP on my desktop, and most likely I will still be running it once support for Windows XP expires. Why?, because I don't have the money to upgrade my computer and as they say why fix something if its not broken? |

| 1339032 | 2013-04-30 21:49:00 | Agreed, except 16-bit applications. 32-bit Windows 7/8 still runs 16-bit applications though. Wonder if activation will be possible after this date :horrified They might just let everyone activate without any questions asked |

| 1339034 | 2013-04-30 22:03:00 | Xfce still needs to improve a little in my mind, the UI still looks a little clunky. So change it ... |
