Windows XP support officialy ends today.
Microsoft drops support for it's decade-old OS today. To those who are still on XP, I might suggest that you give yourself a favor and update to a more recent release due to the fact that Windows XP won't be that secure anymore.

Bye-bye XP, it's been a long journey.

RE: Windows XP support officialy ends today.
It's my best OS ever, my old computer I will never change system because I love XP and I have only 448 mb RAM 64 Mb video of card Smile

Windows 7 is little bad (my computer now, a pc gaming), Windows 8 or 8.1 is so bad I will never buy or update.
I don't want Tactil, Windows Store, Skype, Etc... They programm's are stupid!

I use Windows only for Internet and STEAM (playing) no want a lot programm unnecessary.

Modern Interface is horrible!

XP will never R.I.P, Classic is ever better than Modern Smile

RE: Windows XP support officialy ends today.
Judging by the recent influx of Windows 8/8.1 threads not having much success, I'd guess 7. I don't have Windows 8 or 8.1 though, so it'd be interesting to hear about Windows 8/8.1 success stories.

RE: Windows XP support officialy ends today.
Windows 7 should be the best for now since Windows 8.1 (Not Windows 8 tho, its already long gone unless someone forgets to update it :o) is still in its early years and probably not every Windows XP user are able to adapt with the big change in Windows 8.1.

@Obi55 don't you know that Windows 7 is actually based on Windows Vista? Windows 8/8.1 did start from scratch tho.

RE: Windows XP support officialy ends today.
I have a PC with Vista and a laptop with 7, and I'd rather use Vista, for its simplicity, and because it's basically HD winXP.

Yep, Win 7 is a stripped down (Not feature-wise and more like bloat wise) Windows Vista. My old PC which was struggling with Vista ran great on 7.

Pfft. Bwahahaha !
When did something like that ever matter ? Are there actually people in the world who thought "oh no, now Microsoft wont release any more security update, tomorrow i will be swarmed with thousands of viruses !!!"
Are there really silly people like that ?
Do viruses still exist even ? I used to be paranoid about security, but now it's been nearly a decade since i last used antivirus software, and anything more than the simplest firewall available, and nothing bad ever happened.

RE: Windows XP support officialy ends today.
Viruses definitely still exist, as do security holes. These are not ancient old wives' tales.

In fact, OpenSSL had a major security hole very recently (called Heartbleed.) Sure is a good thing people still care about it, or bank accounts would be getting hacked left and right.

The last time I saw someone with a virus on their computer was like a couple months ago. The last time I had one, neither of the digits in my age were the same as they are now. But then, I haven't gone without a virus scanner in that long either. I think my virus scanner picked something up like 2-3 years ago last.

If you're spending real money in your computer/use or manage bank accounts online/manages your business via your computer, Then you wouldn't want anything bad to happen to your rig.

Unless you don't browse the web nor have internet in your XP-equiped rig then you would be safe (excluding people that have physical access to your rig that may do bad things to it).
