    How long will XP last before it fades away ?


    Well as everyone knows XP is an OLD OS, it's still decent but now that 7 is out it's going to fully replace XP eventually.

    How long would you give XP ?

    2 or 3 more years perhaps ?

    There are still a lot of people there that love XP and do not want to move on to anything new. Of course, some of them are conspiracy theorists that think Windows 7 was created to allow Microsoft and the government spy on them.
    It will be interesting to see how long MS continues to support XP, and after that, how long the holdouts will continue to use it.

    microsoft has agreed to support windows xp until 2014, which i believe is more than a reasonable time for people and companies to upgrade hardware and software that only operate in xp for the time being. it's actually very generous of them to support the OS for as long as they have already.

    Is MS still supporting Windows XP 64 bit ?


    Just wondering, also I heard that there is no SP3 for XP 64bit, is that true as well ? Why is that anyway ?

    Why is there no SP3 for XP 64bit Edition ?


    I learned this today and I'm just curious, apparently XP 64bit is still on SP2. Does that mean it's less secure than 32 bit XP SP3 ?
