well we will loose hardware support for all newer drivers and hardware.
but since a lot of stuff thats used now is realtech that won't really happen.
We will loose xp spaciffic updates for spaciffic components but even
now ie6 is still being updated with critical updates and I have seen
updates for as far back as 2000.
True it will be far less than other stuff, however we will still get
updates for things like dotnet, directx, mediaplayer, ie, office
packs and the like.
also we will still get msse updates most likely.
we may loose out in spaciffic security updates which although not
good still means that a lot of the surrounding stuff will be upgraded.
And a lot of businesses still use xp because its easy to handle.
I suspect ms won't just be able to dump xp like other oses that
easily even after official end of life.

Hello
well this is true, and no matter what 2014 is right a round the
corner. then what for the XP users. They won't have a choice but to
move on to a new OS wether it's a windows, mac, or linux. that is
why I'm glad I learned win 7, and I'm learning win 8, and linux too.

Hi James,
Well, unfortunately that argument doesn't hold up for the long term.
Besides there are workarounds for many of the things Dark and others
don't like. Things like Classic Shell are there precisely to restore
menus and some of the classic dialogs to Windows 7 and Windows 8 that
Windows no longer offers. Its not a perfect solution or fit for having
an XP-like UI but its close enough. There is customization available
if people want it, but they have to be willing to make the effort for
it. However, I'm not going to argue the point any more, because I
firmly believe as been done so many times in the past these XP users
will bitch, moan, and groan a while and then upgrade anyway. So why
argue with them?
Cheers!

hI there
To be fair not everyone is going to like a piece of softwear
that is why
there is so many different types of OS's out there. that is what makes the
world go around. If he tried win 7 and din't like it then why should he use
it? if what he likes is XP then why not use the hell out of it?
well that is untill there is no serport for it.
