Last week, one of my computer programs wasn't working right. Short form,
is that I find out MS doesn't support XP anymore

I dunno what universe you're in , because I still get automatic updates
for a multitude of MS products , including Windows XP - both pro and home
versions . They keep saying they're going to stop support , but too many
large businesses use that OS .
On your OE problems , there's a folder in your "my documents" folder that
has all your contacts and old conversations . I have successfully
transferred that data to a CD , then to the new OS when I had to reload XP .

So they say, Winxp will be supported until April 8, 2014

Maybe they'll extend it again.. and again...


They were going to cut it off in 2010, then 2011, then 2013.....

Way too many computers out there that simply arent ballsy enough to
run Win 7/8 in any sort of manner. And few really want to change to
yet another Windows money pit.

Which is why there are a gazillion types of Linux out there and its
getting stronger and stronger with each passing year. I stopped
paying for Windows after Xp SP3. Now most of my boxes run Linux in
one flavor or another.

And why most commercial websites use Linux in one form or another

Its been called Winblows for a decade or more..for a number of really
good reasons.
