XP is in terminal life-support as it is, with the plug scheduled to be pulled April 2014.

Adobe still supports Windows XP SP3. If the new edition of the Flash plugin touches something in Windows that is revealed to be not as robust as it should be... well, tough luck for XP users. From Steve Ballmer's POV, they should be forking money to buy Windows 8 anyway, so anything that makes XP more annoying to use is not really a problem for him. Wouldn't this be Adobe's fault since older Flash didn't have these issues in XP SP3? -- A centipede is an ant made to Canadian/government specs. --unknown /\___/\ Ant(Dude) @ http://antfarm.ma.cx (Personal Web Site) / /\ /\ \Ant's Quality Foraged Links: http://aqfl.net | |o o| | \ _ /If crediting, then use Ant nickname and AQFL URL/link.

There's this meme going around that XP is somehow perfect as it is. Sorry to say, but it's simply not true. XP has numerous issues, some of them entrenched very deep in its basic architecture. I'm working on phasing it out from my customers, and good riddance -- every time I upgrade a machine from XP to Win7 (in the same hardware, mind you) support issues go down. If a machine is not good enough to run Win7, it is too old to keep in service anyway. (My rule of the thumb is 1 Gb RAM, dual-core CPU and 80 Gb HD -- but I have obtained surprisingly good results even with half those specs) -- MCBastos This message has been protected with the 2ROT13 algorithm.
