Who's still on XP?

XP x64 has quite a few problems. I have it and sometimes use it, it's not a bad OS if you can find drivers for your hardware and your software works with it.

Well XP is 11 years old, it's time to upgrade. Windows 7 usually has all the drivers anyway.

I only use it on my older machines which are not powerful enough to run 7. For example, the old Athlon 64 rig still runs XP. I do dual-boot it with 7 x64 (only to run Black Hole though) but 7 runs a bit slow on it.
 
Some will use it even when it expires and will for years. I know some that still swear by windows 95 OSR2 and Windows 98 2nd edition. They won't change. they will always be there.
 
Trust me. they are older than me. Some are still trying to figure out what ya do with a computer let alone find it useful for anything. I promise they are not on the internet more than a 1/2 hr a day or a week.
 
Some of us (Older Folks) wasn't born with an "Electronic Pacifier", Like the kids now. I started in 1986 in computers, with a Radio Shack TRS-80 Computer. Then an IBM Compatible xt machine. So, my roots are deep.
Windows XP Pro x64 did have it share of problems, just like any software. But, you work them out. Right now on my new build, which isn't quite done yet till I get my new video card in November due to funds, So, I am running "EVGA 9500 GT" in it tell then. And I am running Windows 8 RP Build 8400 too. Which I find I kind of like. But, I will still get 7 pro x64 (Retail) in December still.

At least you're staying up to date unlike some people.
 
And thanks to all of you on this forum also, I liked to keep up to date on things and reading the post helps me learn more. I try to tell my less informed friends and family about this site. And try to explain how it would help them, but it seems they are not interested to learn more about computers other than turning it on and hope it works for them. Oh well, to each their own.
Thanks again for all the feed back.

Ohhh... not good. I'm surprised they can even use the modern internet on Windows 98. The internet has changed massively in 14 years.
 
XP was a good ride. I just got another build and will post later. Having problems with camera and waiting for corp support. said no later than Friday then will post up.
