We are all gathered here to remember Windows XP who was declared dead last week due to being obsolete and no longer needed in our computer lives. It was a great operating system that despite its flaws did what it was intended to do. So let us celebrate and remember this operating system.
Windows XP is preceded in death by its brothers Windows 3.1, Windows 95, and Windows 98. It is survived by Windows 7 and 8 and the red headed step child Windows Vista. So thanks to this passing into obsoletetion we the users of Windows XP will either have to upgrade to another operating system or pray to the computer gods that our computer does not crash anytime soon since independent computer repair people are going to charge an outrageous price to fix it.
I personally will probably get another computer and run Windows 7. I will keep my current computer until I can find a nicer computer or get a laptop I am not sure what I will do. I know Microsoft is slowly cutting off Windows XP users from various things like office 365 email and IE 8 will become totally useless sometime this year too. I am not looking forward to the money I am about to have to spend to upgrade. But as the saying goes all good things must come to an end. This is a perfect example.
RIP Windows XP
