[QUOTE="techboy, post: 4965700, member: 165217"] Still running numerous XP boxes here...and since I do PC support as a side job, I support many other people's XP boxes too. Big thing lately has been Win8 downgrades to 7, but I still get calls from people needing an XP box fixed. It's enough that I'd say 1 in 4. As for big companies and governments paying for security and bug fixes for XP, this implies that updates are still being made, just not being published for free. Unless they're specifically for a problem with the internal systems of the company who paid for them, I'll bet that those updates will leak and turn up online in short order for the rest of us to use. We'll just have to go find them. Even better, some reputable sites like MSFN have been known to post unofficial updates in the past (Win2000 got numerous updates, most being back-ports from XP, and later an unofficial SP5). As for the rest of XP, I loved all of it except IE. Good riddance to IE6 and IE7. Both of those were horrible. Getting websites to look and work correctly in them was a nightmare, and they crashed all the time. Even IE8 is better, but slow. Now if only I could convince my mother to stop using IE8... [/QUOTE]
