i can still offer at least one good reason to keep xp around... here at work, my company just upgraded our main design lab to quad core beasts all running on xp pro. in most cases you would wonder why we just got new computers and put xp on it. the reason for going backwards on OS is due to this being a small town where everyone is reluctant to change as it is... most of the worker in the office can barely log into the software they use everyday much less learn something new...
also, this multi million dollar company just expanded and the owner doesnt see the need for more than one IT guy. in all reallity with one guy handling so much load, there isnt much time to learn a new OS like vista. we may be living under a rock comparison wise, but we just found out that we would no longer be able to buy xp keys in a couple of months...
not supporting xp is one thing, but just flat out making it impossible to buy new keys is just rediculous... i wouldnt mind changing over to vista myself, but i dont like being forced too....
there im off my soapbox... if that made any kind of sense, then great.... if not, ignore it and move on lol
