Oh no! oh no! oh nooo! (RIP WinXP...or not?)

I still run it on two home systems and my work laptop still runs it. I'm using Win7 on my main home PC but this is terrible news. I suppose Win7 will follow in short order as this is about the evil cloud and speaks to the end of local control.

Win 7 is good until 2020.

Too soon for me still.

I suppose I could try to upgrade my computer to something newer, but even if it worked it's a lot of money to spend on a machine I'm trying to replace anyway.

My thoughts as well. I'll upgrade when I get a new computer.

You should both be good for a few years yet...I still regret going over to W7 but that was my only choice at the time when I purchased a new system.

Win 7 seems to be more popular than 8 from what I have heard and seen. The lesser of two evils I guess.

Edit: Anyone have much success with Windows XP Mode? I have a bit of experience with it at work but not anything game related. Also you need
Windows 7 Professional, Enterprise or Ultimate to run it. We have Pro here.
