Re: XP should die
I use XP. And no, the machine isn't online (duh). I have a few apps that I use from time to time that run on XP.
So, no, I don't need to buy an entirely new PC in order to use the latest Windows that might not actually run those apps.
And, no, I don't need to install and use an entirely different operating system that might not actually run those apps.
I think in this day and age, anybody still using XP is either a cheapskate that downloaded a copy (that may well already have "issues" never mind what happens online) or needs to use it for some specific reason.
Oh, I should add, one of those photo printer kiosks also uses XP, saw it a couple of weeks ago in a reboot loop. Again, so long as it isn't exposed to the internet, if it runs a given app and talks to a certain printer, then why not? As long as it isn't used in a way that is potentially insecure (online!), there's not necessarily any valid case to upgrade or change the OS (which may require new hardware) when what is already there works.
