Your sad little summary fails, oddly, to mention that the ONLY version this affects is XP...
False. And downright rude.
, now nearly a decade old. Vista, Server 2008, and Win7 are all just fine. So what "failed to engineer a smooth transition" really means is "MS failed to go back and update all obsolete versions of Windows."
The number of people still running XP is huge. They saw Vista and froze in their tracks.
Did Apple, which "took care of this many years ago", go back and fix all of its obsolete OSs?
Did not need to. They made the change long in advance. That is the way Apple traditionally works.
And, by the way, WD already has a complete solution to the XP "problem" for its advanced drives. It involves running a utility one time or setting a jumper. End of problem.
