To XP or not to XP . . . ?

[Mondavi]

40. 70% of ATM's run on XP, IRS, Hospitals, UK doesn't want to give up on it...

Microsoft should be in jail for what they've done to XP users and to computers.
Folks are running XP cause what came after it was garbage, except 7.
Who much likes the dismissiveness of Microsoft with their "just get a new computer" or a new O/S? Neither is very simple to do and certainly costly in time and energy for users.
Lots to read about if you want to do Linux and you have to burn a DVD cause there's no direct download. Afterwards you can install it on your computer. Lots you have to read and learn about the new O/S.
And who wants a new computer with more Windows junk in it like 8/8.1?
Microsoft is already abandoning 8.1 it's so bad.
People are buying machines with 7 in them, but that will also be abandoned early in 2015.
It's Microsoft which needs to be abandoned.

Just found out that Linux also makes their own computers with Linux programs.
Will certainly be looking into that and think Dell and H/P should also be thinking about tossing
Microsoft O/S's.
