Re: The Eventual Famine
Blindndangerous, XP is actually more like 14 years old. I believe XP first began shipping on PCs in the fall of 2001, and that means this fall XP will be 14 years old. That is extremely old for an operating system considering most are only supported up to five years. XP

Dark, I agree with you. Just because something is old is not sufficient reason to abandon it. Neither is just because something happens to be new sufficient reason to upgrade. I have encountered this mindset many times, and I agree that would be a completely irrational
