Re: Would you believe Windows XP market share went UP last week?

Me. For lots of reasons.

1. A lot of applications run here that were written in Visual Studio 6 and being a one-man band I can't afford the time to take six months or a year out of my life to recode everything.

If it ain't broke, don't fix it. My code ain't broke.

2. The XP Compatability feature: Quite simply doesn't work for heavy data usage.

3. Old crufty machines that run XP run just as fast as my modern W7 machines.

So why should I take a year out of business just to update something that already works? No thank you, it's XP all the way here.
