Hi Charles, That's true. One that I will strongly consider as a software developer. However, as I also pointed out there may come a day where it is no longer possible to support XP and Windows 8 at the same time without developing and maintaining multiple versions of the same game. That takes extra time and more effort for little gain. I expect over the next few years XP use will slowly but surely drop among blind users as old machines break down, get replaced, etc. While it is true most blind people can't afford to run out and buy the latest and greatest given enough time XP users will be in the minority the way Windows 98 users are today. As a software developer I don't want my games and software to end up like the BSC games where they have to be completely rewritten from scratch or given away all because I didn't stay up to date to begin with.
Cheers!
