January 1, 20197 yr I just came back to XP this year, as I’ve become jaded by the direction MS is going in with Windows.

It's been a great journey and it's close to the end, but my fellow XP users, don't be sad for what is not going to be, be happy for what it's been. :') Edited January 1, 20197 yr by FranceBB

I'll do a clean install once support ends. HNY!!!

Lets hope MSFN XP Masters will port Server 2008 updates on XP and it would live on for more. I never had a chance to eXPierence XP on its heyday since i was a Windows 7 user...

As long as you’re connected to the Internet behind a router with a firewall, and browsing the internet responsibly on an updated browser, there is no reason why you can’t continue using XP without an issue. I have no intention of giving it up any time soon.
January 1, 20197 yr I will use my PC with XP even after the end of POSReady support. I trust my Security Setup.

Your link shows average Windows XP system share from outdated range: from December 2017 until November 2018. My link shows newest data for the past month only ("December, 2018 market share reports are now live.") Edited January 1, 20197 yr by Bersaglio

Hardware and software support was so much broader on XP and developed for much longer than 98 was tho. It will die a slow death. I mean there is much more you can do with XP than 98, and u can always run VMs ontop of XP to run software that it wont so there is that. Where 98 couldn't really do that.

January 3, 20197 yr Windows 7 will be the next Windows XP. Only a year of Windows 7 support left and it still has nearly 40% market share. The fact that Windows 7 turns 10 years old this year and still commands such high market share is a testament against the spyware and flawed updates that make up Windows 10. You'll never change my mind Even with Microsoft offering Windows 10 for free and using "unethical" methods to get people to unwittingly install, it couldn't kill Windows 7 quickly enough.
