XP here only for games. Main system is Linux. I'll never upgrade to Vista or whatever. If support for XP ends, my only choice will be Linux with ****** graphic settings in EVE |

They did release information regarding this. If i recall, i think they said like 50% of the playbase is still using the ancient XP, preventing them from upgrading their graphics base. Hopefully someone will be able to provide the link, i'm too lazy to look for the exact article. Post with your main, like a BOSS! |

Win XP is not.....bad, but it's a horribly outdated Dinosaur that can't be fixed. We should just let it rest for it's (long) service.
Switch to W8,or 7 if you afraid of Metro.(Critics of Metro are people who can't handle change. You don't need an effin Touch Screen for it.) |

I still run a Windows XP box...as a Backup. It runs two clients fine. But XP as your only computer?

XP cannot run DX 11 so the OS side is just as important as the hardware. MS basicly said "we don't want to support it" wich I totally agree with. |

windows xp simply because i cant afford to buy extra ram. If i start making changes like "hmmm i will buy 6 giga ram but my motherboard cant handle this so ok will buy a new motherboard and a new processor" then i will end up with a new 500$ desktop |

I still use XP both at home & work.
I do have a Windows 7 PC which according to the 'Windows experience' thing it is supposedly 7.4
But UAC drove me mad after 10 minutes, plus none of the programmes I use at work run in any compatibility mode or otherwise.
Even Microsoft Application Compatibility Toolkit 5.6 was a pile of crock at trying to sort out the compatibility problems.
So it booted in 30 seconds due to a SSD.
But Playing with 2 EVE accounts was no different apart from the infuriating UAC
So currently the Windows 7 PC is stuffed in the back room awaiting disposal!
And I am back on my AMD64 4600+ with XP |

Depending on what those programs are, you might end up with no choice but to upgrade. Saw it in an industrial sector place I worked. 2 years ago. Old system working only on windows NT4. When the machine actaully died, we had to build a computer out of old parts from e-bay to get stuff old enough for absic drivers to just exist while they had to have thier whole ssytem upgraded on rush. We went through 3 machines because old stuff dies often... XP will face teh same fate at some point...
And disabling UAC is hard... |

Because I missed buying Win7 at a reasonable price and because Win8 is horrid. Maybe by the time Win9 comes out, MS will have learned how to make a proper UI and how to price their products properly. Vote Malcanis for CSM8. |

I run XP on my fairly old gaming machine. Give me a reason that I'll receive some massive benefit for -ú50 by upgrading my OS and I will consider it. |

Edit: Considering CCP would have the best access to information like this, it would be nice if they released some statistics about the operating systems the player base uses. It would help 3rd party developers figure out which technologies they can use based on the operating systems the technology supports, and how many EvE players are using operating systems that aren't supported by their preferred technology. XP vista and Win7 on various machines. The machine I use to dual box with is running XP because I don't have the inclination to pirate 7

I run XP as my primary OS because of gaming. I get a better frame rate on it than any other version of windows. Dual box eve on the same system running win 7 runs at half the frame rate.
i don't really give a **** about dx11 and all that crap as I turn details way down and this game should be renamed to 'range rings and purple/red boxes Online'
Edit: you can have my windows XP when you pry if from my cold, dead hands. |

I would still be running MS DOS if I could. I hate changing OS and try to stick with same one as long as possible, so XP will be running my machine in to foreseeable future. |

We will have it much before that when hardware driver are no longer made for win XP. Unless you like running old hardware that is. |
