Funny this article comes up. Saturday I was at my parents house and my Mom said look at this message I am getting on our PC.... she fires up the PC and low and behold it is Windows XP. I could have swore when we upgraded her from Windows ME it was to Vista.... yikes... so.... Sunday I ordered her a new PC with Windows 7. I don't want to try and teach an 80 year old how to use Win8 when i don't even have it myself. So, there will be one less XP license being used in a week or so... LOL
I understand their annoyance. Imagine being told your 6 year old car, or washer, or furnace had to be replaced, not because it no longer worked, but because the manufacturer decided it was not good enough and decided you need to buy the newest one.
Frankly it's annoying as hell.
