FranceBB Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 Uh.... I don't know how they got that number, but the article was published in the BT website (British Telecom), so I kinda trust them. (Unofficial picture of course xD) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FranceBB Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 (edited) Google today announced it is ending support for its Google Drive desktop app for Windows XP, Windows Vista, and Windows Server 2003 on January 1st, 2017, which is not such a big deal 'cause I personally use the web version only. Still, I don't like that Google doesn't care about XP anymore, but considering what they did with Chrome, I expected this.

Still, I don't like that Google doesn't care about XP anymore, but considering what they did with Chrome, I expected this. See, I don't think these companies look at this from a perspective of "we don't care any more about XP". You're saying that Google basically "has it in" for XP. There's nothing personal about it. Perhaps Google has development plans coming very shorty, and they definitely know that it will not work with XP. So force the change now and create the incompatibility now (even if it's an artificial at the moment) so that Google users will not even consider XP as a usable platform for Google products. And send the memo to both Vista users, so that they know as well. Now, Google makes a big big change to HTL5 video applets or makes a big change in Chrome. Guess what the two things are that they now DON'T have to do (which saves hours of testing and money, and that last point will make shareholders happy), they don't have to test the rollout on XP or Vista. So if FranceBB complains that Google Drive doesn't work - well that's OK, because it wasn't supposed to. And saying that XP is special because many millions of users still run the OS, will just make Google say, "Then why are you"? If Google had a personal vendetta against XP, then why did they update Chrome and allow it to run on XP until April 2016? There is your answer right there. They did so until it wasn't feasible for them to do so anymore. They weighed the man hours and cost against the market share and said, "Hmmmm, seems most people use smartphones and Windows 7, so let's focus on Android and NT v6x, ... er except Vista, just because it's not a going concern". That's all there is to it. Edited October 28, 2016 by JodyT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dibya Posted October 28, 2016 Author Share Posted October 28, 2016 (edited) Quote New google crome , drive and others are craps . Pure craps. Most of you all has nice internet connection .

Woody referenced in his blog a .pdf document from Feb 2015 by MS that actually says: Quote One and a half billion people use Windows every day. (Source: Microsoft) [...] This data is current as of February 2, 2015. Now, if the whole Windows marketshare on Feb 2015 was 1.5x109 machines, and it was about 90% of the whole market in 2015, the full market was 1.7x109 machines back then. And since those numbers surely didn't change much since then, my estimate that full PC universe comprises some 2 billion machines is generally correct... and that means about 200 million is really the total number of XP users at present.

cc333 Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 Well, with me, I guess that would be 2 billion and one Except I'm using XP x64, which is an oddball (it seems to generally get lumped together with Server 2003, though; I wonder what the market share is for that?) c Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cc333 Posted December 2, 2016 Share Posted December 2, 2016 I hate to be a naysayer, but it still seems to be trending downward, though? Although, I'm gratified that it is holding as steady as it is, and I hope it continues. c Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
